I know I've seen this but cannot find it in the archives. I've got 2 columns of Address info -- either in column L or M. What I'm trying to do is search Column L for a zero => nine. If I find it -- then address is Column L -- otherwise it has to be Column M. I'm trying:

=IF(OR(FIND({"1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","0"},L2))>0,"Column L","Column M")

but to no avail. I know I've got parentheses out of whack or something. Thanks in advance...

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
You need to take the quotes out from around each number and you need to qualify if the Find() result is a number since FIND() finds a position.

Try:

=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},L2))),"Column L","Column M")
