Wildcard Characters in a Formula

You can use the wildcard character in formulas to search for values. The wildcard character can be used in formulas that have a criteria argument.


The following wildcard characters can be used as comparison criteria for functions when searching.

Character

Finds

Example

? (question mark)

Any single character

sm?th finds "smith" and "smyth"

* (asterisk)

Any number of characters

*east finds "Northeast" and "Southeast"

~ (tilde) followed by ?, *, or ~

A question mark, asterisk, or tilde

fy91~? finds "fy91?"

The following formulas support the wildcard character:

The wildcard character can only be used with an equal string.


The following code sample uses the wildcard character to search for items that contain an "a".

activeSheet.setValue(0, 0, 'abc');
activeSheet.setValue(1, 0, 'ac');
activeSheet.setValue(2, 0, 'a*');
 
activeSheet.getCell(0, 1).formula('COUNTIF(A1:A3,"a*")');  //start with a
activeSheet.getCell(1, 1).formula('COUNTIF(A1:A3,"a?")');  //"a" and only one other character
activeSheet.getCell(2, 1).formula('COUNTIF(A1:A3,"a~*")'); // should be "a*"
