    Re: IF Contains instead of = in Array formula

    I might be missing something but the formula seems complicated

    match("*"&$l$3&"*",Database!$I$4:$I$1200,0) will return you the rownumber can this not be incorporated in a normal formula

    say if(isnumber(match("*"&$l$3&"*",Database!$I$4:$I$1200,0)),match("*"&$l$3&"*",Database!$I$4:$I$1200,0) etc ,whatever )
