Hi there,

I would like to modify the following:

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("~*",C3)),"No", "Yes")

I would like to acheive the following:

"If C3 contains a "*" or "#" then return "No" otherwise "Yes".

Am stuck... as ever, assistance is gratefully received.

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Is it:-
Code:
=IF([COLOR=red][B]or([/B][/COLOR]ISNUMBER(SEARCH("~*",C3))[COLOR=red][B],ISNUMBER(SEARCH("#",C3)))[/B][/COLOR],"No", "Yes")
or:-
Code:
=IF([COLOR=#ff0000][B]or([/B][/COLOR]ISNUMBER(SEARCH("~*",C3))[COLOR=#ff0000][B],ISNUMBER(SEARCH("~#",C3)))[/B][/COLOR],"No", "Yes")

(Crouch End? Say "hello" to my cousin Gloria if you see her!)

Try this...

=IF(COUNT(FIND({"*","#"},C3)),"No","Yes")
