<h1>FIND/FINDB Function</h1>
<p>The <b>FIND</b>/<b>FINDB</b> function is one of the text and data functions. Is used to find the specified substring (string-1) within a string (string-2). The <b>FIND</b> function is intended for languages that use the single-byte character set (SBCS), while <b>FINDB</b> - for languages that use the double-byte character set (DBCS) like Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc.</p>
<p>The <b>FIND/FINDB</b> function syntax is:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>FIND(string-1, string-2 [,start-pos])</em></b></p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>FINDB(string-1, string-2 [,start-pos])</em></b></p>
<p><em>where</em></p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>string-1</em></b> is a string you are looking for,</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>string-2</em></b> is a string you are searching within,</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>start-pos</em></b> is a position in a string where the search will start. It is an optional argument. If it is omitted, the funcion will start search from the beginning of the string.</p>
<p>The values can be entered manually or included into the cell you make reference to.</p>
<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: if there are no matches, the function will return the <b>#VALUE!</b> error.</p>
<p>To apply the <b>FIND/FINDB</b> function,</p>
<ol>
<li>select the cell where you wish to display the result,</li>
