SEARCH Function
You are tasked with auditing legal expenses for a company.
You suspect that legal expenses may be miscoded in other accounts so you decided to look through the utilities expense account.
What's the best way to do this? Building a search box of course! Since you don't care about capitalization, you will use the SEARCH
function instead of the FIND
function. The SEARCH
function uses the following format:
SEARCH(search_for, text_to_search)
Let's hold off on conditional formatting for now and use the regular functions in cells first.
