Hi all,

I have a list of Suburbs, and a list of street names. I want to identify where someone uses a lower case version of these. Basically I want to say, if you find an item within the string that is in the named range, let me know if it is the lowercase version.

Code:
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(LOWER(Street_Names),$A7)))>0,"","Err: Check Street Abbreviations")

This isn't working but I can't figure out why. I can't use EXACT because it will check even words that aren't in the list.

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
FIND is case sensitive. See if this works
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(FIND(LOWER(Street_Names),$A2)))>0,"","Err: Check Street Abbreviations")
