Hello!

I have the function:
Code:
IF(SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(E1:E2,A1)));"yes","no")
that searches the text values from E1:E2 in A1 cell.
How to make the same in VBA?

Thanks in advance!
 
When E1 or E2 is empty, the functions say "yes" instead of "no".
That is what the formula you posted in Message #1 did and you asked us to make VBA do what your formula did.

How to find the non-empty values only?
Try this revised version of the function that I posted earlier...
Code:
[table="width: 500"]
[tr]
	[td]Function FindTxts(SingleCell As Range, RangeOfCells As Range) As Variant
  Dim Cel As Range
  For Each Cel In RangeOfCells
    FindTxts = FindTxts + (Cel.Value <> 0 And InStr(1, SingleCell, Cel.Value, vbTextCompare) > 0)
  Next
  If FindTxts Then FindTxts = "Yes" Else FindTxts = "No"
End Function[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
That is what the formula you posted in Message [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1 [/URL] did and you asked us to make VBA do what your formula did.
I know that your function works as an example from Meassage #1 , but I didn't think about it before, sorry.

 End Function[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

The that one works with empty values perfectly, thank you!
