Subject: Search for text within a range of cells in Excel using an IF statement Body: Right now I have a working formula to search for 2 non-printing characters in a single cell, but I need to search multiple cells on the same row. What is working: =IF(NOT(ISERROR(SEARCH(" ",$H2))),"Non-printing character",IF(NOT(ISERROR(SEARCH(" ",$H2))),"Non-printing character","OK")) What I want to do is search $H2:$Q2 and if a non-printing character is contained anywhere within $H2:$Q2, I want cell G2 to display "Non-printing character." If a non-printing character is not found, I want G2 to display "OK." Any ideas?
