FIND Function

[MarkTurkenburg]

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. 

Thanks,

Hi @Harsha 

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

Is Anapedia incorrect?

Thanks

My bad I was reading the instructions incorrectly

It was just that simple!

Thanks
