    Angry Trying to create a search cell.

    The formula is missing an opening or closing parenthesis.

    =IF(ISBLANK($C$2), 0, SEARCH($C$2,$I4&$J4)

    what's wrong with this formula?

    Re: Trying to create a search cell.

    You can't use search like that.

    Try this

    =IF(ISBLANK($C$2),0,IF(COUNTIF(I4:J4,C2),"found","not found"))
    HTH
    Regards, Jeff
