Is there a formula to show (true or false) whether a cell contains any characters that aren't a letter or number without resorting to vba?

Cheers,

Hi Fazza

Thank you. You are right.

I should have specified that it will also accept letters that you don't use in English.

For an English text it will work OK as you'll not use any of those letters.
