On a failed search, both functions return #VALUE!.
To reproduce:
1. Enter in cell a formula with find text that will not be found in source
text, for example:
=FIND("ZZ";"source_text")
2. Observed:
#VALUE! is returned.
3.Expected:
Return value of zero or negative 1 (0 or -1).
4. Discussion:
Cumbersome work-around example:
=IF(ISERR(FIND("find_text";C2));0;FIND("find_text";C2))
Documentation does not address the return value for the no-find
condition.
Yes, this is how Microsoft Excel does it. It is a bug in Excel also,
but I can't help them. ;-).
Maybe we could have our own function, like AT(find,source) that returns zero on
no-find.
Thanks...
