    True or False with Wildcard

    Hello,

    I'm trying to use wildcard on this True/False formula but can't seem to get it right. I need to match the original value in Cell A against Cell B. If value in A is in any part of Cell B, it should return True else, False.

    I've attached a file which is much clearer.

    Thanks for your help

    Try This
    =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("*"&A2,B2)),FALSE,TRUE)
