asked on Excel 2007 In Cell Find function
I am using the find function to split cell strings into pieces. It works fine (mostly), unless the find fails in which case I get #NAME? for the value.
Really would I am trying to do is something like this:
=if(Find("x", G1, 1), "True Value", "False Value")
This sometimes gives the #NAME? value and so I refined the function to see where it is exploding and it is the FIND function, when it fails to find.
Any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes there are two same suggestions, I beat barry to it ;-)
I posted my suggestion before I saw that Saurabh had posted the same thing.....given that both are the same perhaps that's an indication that it's the best way to do it......if you want somrthing a little different try this
=IF(COUNT(Find("x",G1)),"T
No better, just different

=IF(COUNT(Find("x",G1)),"T

=IF(COUNT(Find("x",G1)),"T
So, in this expression, Find("x", G1)) will not cause an error if no "x" found?
I will be at it in morning and post my finding.
Thanks.
