Excel FIND Function Introduction
This method locates text in a string and returns a number indicating the position.
Description of Excel FIND Function
Syntax:
=FIND (find_text, within_text, [start_num])

- find text – The text to be located.
- within text – The text to look for.
- start num – [optional] The starting point in the text to search is set to 1 by default.
Step By Step Guide of FIND Function
Example :
The first formula determines where the letter I begins.
Second, we have added the third parameter 4 so that FIND would only search from the fourth letter and disregard the I which is the third letter.
The third formula involves extracting the word “doing” from the text. How are things going for you?
Fourth, we’re looking for the term again, and because FIND is case sensitive, we’ll receive the #VALLUE error.
Key Points
- If find text is not found in within text, FIND will return #VALUE.
- FIND does not allow wildcards and is case-sensitive.
