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.

Instrucciones del ejercicio

  • Enter a SEARCH function in every cell from D3 to D19 that searches for the search_for word specified in the "Search box" and takes its respective value in column B as the text_to_search range. The value to search_for is in cell F3.
  • Fix the row but do not fix the column (e.g. F$3 not $F$3).
