Dear Experts, I am trying to use (SEARCH and Vlookup) formula to filter out selected data from large database. Sample is attached.
When I want to Search 2” ( " means Inch ), current formula brings text items containing 2” and non-related items like 1/2", 1 1/2", 2 1/2", 12”, 22” etc. When I want to Search 1/2”, current formula brings text items containing 1/2” and non-related items like 1 1/2", 2 1/2", etc. When I want to Search 4”, current formula brings text items containing 4” and non-related items like 1/4", 3/4", 1 1/4", 1 3/4", 14”, 24”, etc. When I want to Search 1/4”, current formula brings text items containing 1/4” and non-related items like 1 1/4", 2 1/4", etc. Kindly help to exclude texts with non-related fractions and attached integers on left side. Thanks Regards, ZAFAR IQBAL -- Are you =EXP(E:RT) or =NOT(EXP(E:RT)) in Excel? And do you wanna be? It’s =TIME(2,DO:IT,N:OW) !
