![]() Question: In Microsoft Excel 2010/2007/2003/XP/2000/97, how do I make a cell display the contents of the last cell of a range that has data?Īnswer: This is a bit tricky and the formula that you need to use will depend on the types of data that you have in the range. The FIND function works the same as SEARCH, but with the added behavior of case-sensitivity.MS Excel: Get contents of last cell in a range that has data ![]() If you wish to search for text and discriminate between different cases (case-sensitive), use the FIND function. A search for the letters “AT” would find “AT”, “At”, “aT”, and “at”. NOTE: The SEARCH function is NOT case-sensitive. If we receive an error response, we know the text “AT” does not exist in the text string. If we see any number as a response, we know “AT” exists in the text string. We can use this new information to determine if the text “AT” exists in the companion text strings. ![]() The “ #VALUE!” responses are the SEARCH function’s way of letting us know that the letters “AT” were not found in the search text. The next discovery was in the 5 th character position, and the last discovery was in the 4 th character position. The first SEARCH found the letters “AT” beginning in the 1 st character position of the text. We are returned a character position which the letters “AT” were discovered by the SEARCH function. ![]() To see if the search function works properly on its own, lets perform a simple test with the following formula. If omitted, the default start character position is 1 ( the first character on the left of the text.) Start_num – is an option argument that defines the character number/position in the within_text argument you wish to start searching.within_text – is a required argument that defines the text in which you want to search for the value defined in the find_text. ![]()
