Hi, i am enclosing a sheet to help explain. But basically, i have in cell A1 a string of dates and they are NOT in order. I have a list of dates in column B and what i want to know is if the date say in cell B1 is in the list of dates shown in cell A1.
Not sure how to do this. i tried converting cell A1 to text using Text(B1,"m/dd/yyyy") and then using countif but this didnot work.
Any thoughts?
Try:
=ISNUMBER(SEARCH(" "&TEXT(B1,"m/d/yyyy")," "&$A$1))+0
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
=if(isnumber(search(text(b1,"m/d/yyyy"),$a$1,1)),1,0)

This works for me:
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(99999,SEARCH(TEXT(B1,"m/d/yyyy"),A1),"YES"),"NO")

You need to delimit the data in some way, so that you don't get false matches with say a search for 2/1/2022 matching 12/1/2022
