  • RE: First Occurance of the string from text

    You have at least one rule missing. For example, in

    Text1=

    'ABNAGENDRACSURENDRADJITHENDRAXNARENDRABVEERNDARAXDRMNDRAXRVINDRABNAGENDRACSURENDRADJITHEN'

    The first A not followed by a B, C or D is "AGENDR". Why is that "A" excluded?

    Ah, thanks for posting that. I'd been having more trouble finding a 2008 instance than I'd expected.

    You certainly don't need a calendar table for that simple a calculation! All you need is:

    I can't see the screenshot. A screenshot is pretty useless anyway. Actual text would be much better.

    Thanks Scott,

    More elegant, more compact and it did uncover a mistake in my solution.
