Need help with a formula
I am trying to find a formula to search for text in a range of cells that if
found it would return data in another cell. For instance, Retun Jones in the Sunday cell in the XXXX cell and so on. Also Tuesday it would return Doe and Jones in the SA 61/1 XXXX cell on Monday. Name Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Smith W T DO DO W PT 60 PT 61/1 Doe T PT 61/1 PT 60 PT 61/1 DO DO W Jones PT 60 PT 61/1 W T PT 60 PT 61/1 W PT 60 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX PT61/1 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Need help with a formula
Hi Mike,
It's not possible to test cells containing text with field coding and cell references. You would need to bookmark each string (not the whole cell) for the test. Even then, the ability to test the contents of each bookmark is severely limited and there really is no practical way (even if there is a feasible way) of doing what you want via field coding. What you want to do is better done via a macro or in Excel (you could embed an Excel worksheet in your document) via, say, an Index/Match combination. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Mike" wrote in message ...
