I have an Excel database of invoice data with a text column for the description of the work performed. I need to identify (T/F in a column?) any invoice that has any keywords from a list in the description column. I have not yet created the list of keywords as I am not sure how they should be arranged, your suggestion will be welcomed.

How would I do that?

Simplified version of what I am after:

515003Stocked shelves during night shift to help KenF

Peter,
Wanted to let you know I implemented your second formula in my invoice database and it is working perfectly. Thank you again.

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
