FIND Function

Hi Team,

I'm using the FIND function for the 1st time & it not working as I expected.

It seems like a basic Function so I must be missing something easy but I would assume that below the value returned in the FIND line item would be 1 as it would find ANZ?

Thanks

Hi @MarkTurkenburg

FIND function return position of text which you are searching. And also you put wrong syntax in the formula.

FIND(X,Y,N) :: X = "ANZ"/ text to find, Y =Region Text / Text to search in, Z = starting point.

Hi @Harsha

Anapedia states the syntax is (cell containing text, text to find, starting point) which is what I did.

Is Anapedia incorrect?

Thanks
