In this tutorial, we will go over how to use three functions to find special characters in Excel. First, we will show you how to use the SEARCH Function to list the special characters you would like to find. Then, because the results of SEARCH are a little messy, we will add the ISNUMBER and SUMPRODUCT Functions to give you a one word answer to the response to whether or not Excel could find the special characters. This is a great video for anyone wanting to know if a dataset has characters that should be excluded or included.
