Hi ,
Is there any formula by which I can locate special character in a string in excel. Don't want a macro for it just a formula using if condition, if possible.

By special character I meant "!@#$%^&*()".. is there any formula to identify these characters. Basically I want to Pick the initial value of an Alphabet and then align it with one figure. i.e. if it is Alphabet "England" it should pick "E" and publish "Alphabet", if the name is "1 England" it should pick 1 and should display "Number" and if it is ": England" it should pick ":" and should display special character
Name Initial Display
England E Alphabet
1 England 1 Number
: England : Special character
Display is what I want as a result using if or any condition. Can any excel master help me out with this?
Use this VLOOKUP Table
Special Character Number Special Character Alphabet Special Character Alphabet Special Character Then for a formula (let's say the table is in I1:J7)
=VLOOKUP(CODE(LEFT(A1,1)), $I$1:$J$7,2)
