I have a paragraph of text in cell C2. I'm in need of a macro that will search through this to find the words Cat, Dog, Fish, ( not case sensitive) If all three words appear within this text, input the word YES in cell B2, if only one or two words appear, leave B2 blank.


Thanks!

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
You don't need a macro:

Code:
=IFERROR(IF(AND(SEARCH("cat",C2)<>0,SEARCH("dog",C2)<>0,SEARCH("fish",C2)<>0),"YES",""),"")
In the cell you want the result in.
