Nested IF AND SEARCH formula not working
So I'm not really sure why this formulas not working. The first part with the FYRef column works fine, but then the
=IF(ISNUMBER([FYRef]),[FYRef], IF(AND([RECEIVEDDATE]>=DATE(2010, 4, 1), (MID([SERIAL],5,2) = "11")), 2011, IF(AND(SEARCH("-11",[SERIAL],0), [RECEIVEDDATE]>=DATE(2010, 04, 01), 2011, 2010))))
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I believe it's an issue with the SEARCH function.
Thanks,
i take it this is a table?
Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

I guess this is my real questions, because this is the part of the formula that's not working and just returns "#VALUE!".
Why did this work in PowerPivot, but now that I'm using it on a standard excel sheet not work?
=IF(SEARCH("-11-", [SERIAL],0),2011, 2010)
Thanks,
Are you searching the text string from the beginning, left to right? If so, replace your SEARCH start_num argument with 1. So, making it:

That still produces the same error.
a formula like this would work...
=IF(ISERROR(FIND("-11-",[SERIAL],1)),"2010","2011")
But once the ISERROR starts getting combined with other ISERRORs they get harder to read and edit going back later. Is this the only way?
Solved!
=if(isnumber(find("-11-",[serial])),"2011", "2010")
