Having trouble finding formula that will look at the text within a cell and place a TRUE or FALSE -- if that text ENDS with an "X"
Example:
Column A holds various codes:
GHRYS
WJNCV
ABCDX
PRTYS

Position 1,2 & 4 would be FALSE and 3 would be TRUE since the text string ENDS with an X

I know these can be found w/ Conditional Formatting using the ENDING with -but I need an actual formula to be able to use it elsewhere within the ACL auditing system.

This one will find the cell if it has an X (anywhere) within the cell's text, but I need it to look only at the END of that text..
= ISNUMBER(SEARCH("X",A2))=TRUE
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.

Try this...

=RIGHT(A2)="X"
