=COUNT(SEARCH(Instructors,$A1))=0



In the workbook you attached these cells just have #VALUE! errors - no formulas. So I can't see the original formula / answer this question.
Yes, you're right.
I should give a name to the array in 2010.
And you're very specialised in using Excel coz you can tell the little difference between 07 and 10.

And sorry. I don't know why the formula causing the error disappears. I cannot retrieve the formula though. Have to forget them.
