    Question Formula to see if text in cell A1 is present in specific filepath

    Hi,

    I'm trying to find a formula/macro that will lookup the last and first name as it appears in Cell A1, and tell me in Cell B1 "Yes" or "No" if this name (*Last Name & First Name in any order) appears in any of my .pdf document names of a specific filepath (Ex. C:\Employee\Records).

    I also need this formula to work for other preceding names in Column A. Is this possible?

    Column A
    A1 - Smith, John
    A2 - Monroe, Marilyn

    Column B
    B1 - Returns "Yes" or "No"
    B2 - Returns "Yes" or "No"
