Hi all!;)

I will appreciate your help.

I need to find out if a certain cell contains other cell's text- it's not a specific text.
If A1 contains the text in C1....​
do you have any idea how to do that??

Another issue if you can figure out is the formulas I've tried so far couldn't identify if it's the same text when it was the same just with Caps lock letters ( Abc - abc).


please help me :)

=ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C1,A1))+0

=(COUNTIF(A1,"*"&C1&"*")>0)+0

1 means yes, 0 no.

In D1 enter and copy down:

Either...

=ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C1,A1))+0

Or...

=(COUNTIF(A1,"*"&C1&"*")>0)+0

1 means: Yes, C1 is in A1; 0 No, C1 is not in A1.
