[janagan]

Hi Friends,

I want a formula to find "#" character in a text.

Example

Here i I want to find out the character "#" position

I used =FIND("#", A1,1) Answer is 3 it's ok fine.

But I have problem with this below example;

Revised PO#545455, INV# 434344 ABC LTD

In this example i want second "#" position... Please help to solve this issue..

Thanks..
