    Just Cannot Get This Formula To Work! (Find)

    Hello everyone,

    I have this formula here
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    And it works great!, however, I would like to add another find to the code.

    I would like "True" to display if excel finds AB in cell A1, OR DB in cell A1 and if nothing is found then nothing to be displayed.

    I have tried many variations of this function to no avail.

    How would this be accomplished? Can anyone help?

    Thank you so much for your time.

    Does this work:


    =IF(ISERROR(FIND("AB",A1,1)),IF(ISERROR(FIND("DB",A1,1)),"","True"),"True")

    Note: the find formula IS case sensitive

    =IF(OR(C1={"SF","FL","SP"},A1={"FL","TRLBAR"},COUNTIF(CKO2!1:1,"Late CKO - 1 PM")),TRUE,"")
