    Find a closing bracket in a cell

    Hi,

    I'm looking for hopefully a simple formula that looks to see if A1 has a closing bracket at the END of the cell. The end of the cell is important here.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there. Try this (assumes data start in A1).

    =IFERROR(IF(FIND(")",A1)=LEN(A1),"At End","Not at End"),"")

    Dohhh! I was making life more complicated than needed.

    =IF(RIGHT(A1,1)=")","At end","Not at end")
