The trim function did the trick. I have been
burned by this in the past, so don't know why I didn't think of
it! It is really the only thing that makes sens.gsOn 08/22/14 13:07,

wrong?gsWith that formula, you should get 0 if the strings don't match
(or
1 if they do); do you really get FALSE displayed in the cell?Assuming you
actually get 0 (because the condition
(index(category,25,0)="cats") is evaluating to FALSE), make sure
there are no spaces in the values. "cats " is not equal to "cats",
even though they look the same. If spurious spaces are likely to
be a problem, you may want to use:
=if((trim(index(category,25,0))="cats"),1,0)to remove spaces either side of the
value (and collapse multiple
spaces within the value into single spaces) before comparison.Mark.
