Hi everyone,
I am trying to italicize a cell (B7) based on if the letter S is anywhere in C7.
I have already tried the formula $C$7="*S*", but this doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

no need to put the entire IF condition:
=isnumber(find("s",$c$7))
would do it...
- i.s.z -
CSE, aka Array aka { }, formulae are confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.
Replace commas ( , ) with semicolons ( ; ) in formulae, if your locale setting demands.
All good ideas are courtesy resources from this forum as well as others around the web.

Yes that's much neater, however it won't work for a capital "S". If that's an issue then...
=ISNUMBER(FIND("s",LOWER($C$7))
if you want the search not to be case sensitive, use SEARCH()
=isnumber(search("s",$c$7))
Where there is a will there are many ways.
