Cell G11 will return the value of 7 because \u201cn\u201d is the seventh character in the string.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nExplanation:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
FIND<\/code> function is used to locate the position of a specific character or substring within a text string. The syntax of the FIND<\/code> function is:<\/p>\n\n\n\nFIND(find_text, within_text, [start_num])<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n\n
find_text<\/code><\/strong>: The character or substring you want to find.<\/li>\n\n\n\nwithin_text<\/code><\/strong>: The text string in which you want to search.<\/li>\n\n\n\n[start_num]<\/code><\/strong> (optional): The position in the text to start the search. If omitted, it defaults to 1 (the beginning of the string).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n
=FIND(\"n\", G10, 2)<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n
\"Silicon Valley CALIFORNIA\"<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nstart_num<\/code> argument of 2).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nPosition<\/th> Character<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> 1<\/td> S<\/td><\/tr> 2<\/td> i<\/td><\/tr> 3<\/td> l<\/td><\/tr> 4<\/td> i<\/td><\/tr> 5<\/td> c<\/td><\/tr> 6<\/td> o<\/td><\/tr> 7<\/td> n<\/td><\/tr> 8<\/td> <\/td><\/tr> 9<\/td> V<\/td><\/tr> 10<\/td> a<\/td><\/tr> \u2026<\/td> \u2026<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n \n
FIND(\"n\", G10, 2)<\/code> returns 7<\/strong>, because that\u2019s the first occurrence of “n” starting from the second character in the string.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nWhy the other choices are incorrect:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
FIND<\/code> returns a position, not a count.<\/li>\n\n\n\nFIND<\/code> does not count the number of instances but gives the position<\/strong> of the first match.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
