    Formula to find text in cell with alt + enter

    I have a column with data in the cells. Some of those cells have an alt+enter in between the text to visually display the text on multiple rows.
    I have another column with data in the cells. In the third column I need a formula that will look in the first column for the text in the second. Caveat, the data in this second column might only be a subset of the data in the first column.
    Example:
    Cell A1 = This is to test a formula.
    Let's see if it works.
    Cell B1 = Let's see if it works.
    Cell C1 = need formula here

    Thanks.

    And if it finds it, do what?
    this will tell you if the text in B1 is in A1...
    =SEARCH(B1,A1,1)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
