How can we find the position of letter in Excel ?

FIND

What Does It Do?

This function looks for a specified letter inside another piece of text.

When the letter is found the position is shown as a number.

If the text contains more than one reference to the letter, the first occurrence is used.

An additional option can be used to start the search at a specific point in the text, thus

enabling the search to find duplicate occurrences of the letter.

If the letter is not found in the text, the result #VALUE is shown.

LetterToLookFor : This needs to be a single character.

TextToLookInside : This is the piece of text to be searched through.

StartPosition : This is optional, it specifies at which point in the text the search should begin.

Formatting

No special formatting is needed, the result will be shown as a number.
