Hey,

I'm trying to find a way to create an indicator that find a string in concatenated string (with | delimiter). the string i'm trying to find should be exactly how it's shown in the concatenated string.

For example: find "paid" in the following examples.
1. "ba_paid" is not equal to "paid",
2. no paid" is not equal to "paid"
3. just "paid" equal to "paid"

between the other tags can but underscore and spaces.

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
try this, it is case sensitive, if you don't want that use SEARCH
Excel Formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("|paid|", "|"&A1&"|")), TRUE, FALSE)
