Excel: Searching for multiple terms in a cell
I use this handy equation to search for a term inside of a cell in excel. =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*Gingrich*",C1)),"1","") This equation searches for the presence of Gingrich in C1, if it exists, it displays a 1. All I'd like to do is search for more than one term at a time. Anyone know how to add an OR function into this so I can search for Gingrich OR Obama OR Romney etc... ? Another way =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(NOT(ISERR(SEARCH({"Gingrich","Obama","Romney"},C1)))))>0,"1","") Also, if you keep a list of values in, say A1 to A3, then you can use =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(NOT(ISERR(SEARCH($A$1:$A$3,C1)))))>0,"1
