eliminate #VALUE!
I am using Find("XYZ",C1). It works fine if XYZ is in the cell. If it is not I get #VALUE!
How can I make it blank if XYZ is not in the cell?
As a 365 user, a more verbose programming style can fit better into my workbook, for example
= LET( position, FIND("xyz", Cell), valid?, ISNUMBER(position), IF(valid?, LEFT(Cell,position-1), "Not found") )would return the values to the left of the search string in the cell.
