Hello Folks, For one of my assignments I'm trying to write a formula that searches a list rom a search space.
Here the list is a set of cells might have same or different values, search space is a single cell where in these values are given with comma seperated this may or maynot contain the values in the list. the formula am trying to write should just flag if any value from the list exist in the search space. I'm trying out the following 2 options 1. Using a formula if (find(list[i],searchspace,1)>0,Yes,if (find(list [i+1],searchspace,1)>0,Yes,if (find(list[i+2],searchspace,1)>0.... ) this one is very basic method and another problem is the list element is dynamic here and the complexity grows with the List. 2. Writing a Macro that finds and flags the search space. but Please let me know if there is any other better way of doing it.
