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.

Aren't these two suggestions the same? The only difference I see is that the first one's functions are all lower case.
Thanks.

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)),"True Value", "False Value")
No better, just different
