    Smile Searching for a substring in a string

    I need to know if the substring "QDS" is in the string "QDS-01-10-52-0001" and then place the number one (1) in another cell if the result is True!
    Which excel 2007 function can do that?
    Your help will be greatly appreciate!!!

    Welcome to the forum.

    FIND() for case-sensitive, SEARCH() for not.
