I'm trying to use FIND statement to find multiple strings in the context of a larger formula. The original formula I'm basing it off of is as follows:
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("INC",A1))," ","Y")
Obviously, this yields a Y if it finds whatever text in " ". However, I have many strings for which I'd like to check and they need to be exact; ie when I search INC and inc, I do not want Inc to be counted. So, I tried the following formulas.
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(OR("INC",inc"),A1))," ","Y")
=IF(SUM(COUNTIF(A1,"* INC*","* inc*}))," ","Y")
The second one works best, but it also counts "Inc" as a match. Any suggestions?
