SEARCH Function and FIND Function in Microsoft Excel

There are two very similar functions in Excel to look for data inside of cells matching parameters that you dictate: SEARCH and FIND. There are so similar, in fact, that one wonders why have two separate functions that perform virtually the identical results and are identical in the construct of the formula. This article will discuss he one, basic difference.

SEARCH Introduction

The SEARCH function is a way to find a character or string within another cell, and it will return the value associated with the starting place. In other words, if you are trying to figure out where a character is within the cell that contains a word, sentence or other type of information, you could use the SEARCH function. The format for this function is:

=SEARCH("find_text","within_text",start_num).

If, for example, the word "alphabet" was in cell C2, and your model needed the location of the letter "a" in that cell, you would use the formula =SEARCH("a",C2,1), and the result would be 1. To continue this simplistic example, if you were seeking the location of "b" in the word, the formula would be =SEARCH("b",C2,1), and the result would be 6. You can also use search on strings of characters. If, for example, cell F2 contains 1023-#555-A123, the formula =SEARCH("A12",F2,1) would yield the 11 as an answer.

FIND Introduction

The FIND function is another way to find a character or string within another cell, and it will return the value associated with the starting place, just like the SEARCH function. The format for this function is:

=FIND("find_text","within_text",start_num).

Using the same example as before, the location of the letter "a" in cell C2 would be discovered using =FIND("a",C2,1), and the result would be 1. Looking for "b" in cell C2 would be accomplished be =FIND("b",C2,1), resulting in the number 6. Finally, continuing on the similarity path, if cell F2 contains 1023-#555-A123 (as before), the formula =FIND("A12",F2,1) would yield the 11 as an answer. As you can see, up to this point, both methods would give you the same results.

Note: You probably quickly recognized that there are two a's in the word located in cell C2. By stating the starting point in each of the formulas as 1, we will pick up the first instance of the letter "a". If we needed to choose the next instance, we could merely have the "start_num" part of the formula to be 2, thus skipping the first instance of the letter and resulting in an answer of 5.

Main Differences

The main difference between the SEARCH function and the FIND function is that FIND is case sensitive and SEARCH is not. Thus, if you used the formula =SEARCH("A",C2,1) (note the capital "A"), the result would still be 1, as in the case before. If you were to use the formula =FIND("A",C2,1), you would get #VALUE!. FIND is case sensitive and there is no "A" in the word "alphabet".

Another difference is that SEARCH allows for the use of wildcards whereas FIND does not. In this context, a question mark will look for an exact phrase or series of characters in a cell, and an asterisk will look for the beginning of the series of characters right before the asterisk. For example, the formula =SEARCH("a?p",C2,1) in our alphabet example would yield an answer of 1, as it is looking for an exact grouping of the letter "a" with anything next to it with a "p" immediately after. As this is in the beginning of the word, the value returned is 1. Continuing with the alphabet example, the formula =SEARCH("h*t",C2,1) would yield a value of 4. In this instance, the wildcard "*" can represent any number of characters in between the "h" and the "t" as long as there is a string beginning and ending with the two letters you use in the formula. If the formula was =SEARCH("h*q",C2,1), you would get #VALUE!.

In short, these two formulas are very similar, and unless you need confirmation of an exact character or string of characters, you would likely err on the side of using SEARCH. Instances where this may not be the case might involve searches involving specific SKUs or names of employees. In my experience, SEARCH has been more helpful in specific financial modeling exercises, but it is helpful to understand the differences in usage and results as you work through your own modeling projects.

The Nikon D400 Camera - Most Anticipated Digital SLR in Years

The world of photography and cameras is a highly competitive market, where each purchase can amount to several thousand dollars. As a consumer, if you're going to be spending such a large chunk of money, you're going to want to research the best option. Sometimes, this means researching your purchase months before you actually make it. That is not just good for your photos but good for your pocketbook too. Lately though, the camera thousands of people have been looking into has not even been officially announced yet. This camera is the Nikon D400 digital SLR.

Now why would a camera be so highly anticipated before it's even announced as being a possibility by the company that makes it? In this case, the speculation has gone rampant. The current camera model in the same line is the Nikon D300, which brought nothing short of amazement among those who use it. The D300 received stellar reviews from Nikon fanatics and critics alike, and became one of the best received cameras in recent history.

Those high reviews gave people high expectations for the next product in the same line, and started the speculation of a Nikon D400 only a year after the D300 was released. Nikon tends to release the next model within a line between two and three years after the release of the previous model. This adds fuel to the D400 rumors as the two year mark comes on 23 August 2009.

With that two year mark fast approaching, rumors surrounding the Nikon D400 are popping up like wildfire, and the speculation is coming from photographers and techies alike. Any fluctuation in the production of previous models gets quickly noticed, and thousands of avid Nikon watchers make posts on various related websites. Speculation and rumors on the specifications of the D400 range from being realistic but impressive, to completely out to lunch.

One thing everyone seems to agree on though is that after an amazing release in the form of the Nikon D300, there are very high expectations of the Nikon D400 camera. All Nikon fans and critics alike are going to be paying very close attention to the life cycle of this pending digital SLR. If Nikon can deliver on the D400 like they did on the D300 though, competitors like Canon, Kodak, and Pentax will all have a rough time claiming the market.

How Real is Reality TV?

In today's world, reality TV shows are popping up everywhere. Over 70 reality shows have been produced to date according to a popular website. The popularity of these shows and their high ratings have attracted many people's attention and just about every TV network in America now airs some kind of reality show.

A reality TV show has real world people instead of paid actors and actresses. These shows are supposed to portray real life situations and events that affect people's lives. However, participants of reality TV shows are sometimes willing to go outside of their boundaries and do things that they would not necessarily do in their normal lives, without the cameras following their every move.

Some reality TV participants eat really disgusting, horrible strange things and perform potentially life threatening stunts in pursuit of monetary gain. Other participants are put in a house and expected to live in harmony with total strangers. These participants are usually under a lot of pressure when their characters clash.

Thousands upon thousands of Americans are watching reality TV shows every day. For some people, these shows help them realize that their lives are not all that bad after all. It helps them see that they are not the only ones with problems and dysfunctional lives and families.

Reality TV shows have affected society in many different ways. Some audiences get hooked on these shows because they help them escape their own real lives. The shows vary in theme and material and every show is designed to attract the biggest possible audience. The bigger the audience, the more money the shows make.

Some Reality TV may not be quite as real as we may like to think. Take the case of the hated apprentice contender Omarosa for example. According to a Time magazine article, she may have been the victim of reality TV editors. Some reality TV shows are edited to be dramatic and some quotes may actually be manufactured. Clashes and ugly feuds between the reality stars may be constructed and some parts of the shows may also be completely edited and cut out so they don't make the final show that people see on TV. Some critics actually charge that reality TV is not so real and that these shows may be far more manipulative than we think.

According to a poll by CNN, 57% of 1016 adults believe that Reality TV shows provide a distorted picture of events while another 23% say the shows are "totally phoney". The amount of pressure for TV ratings pushes people to make the show more interesting.

When all is said and done, some people on the reality shows say that they were unfairly represented and the reality taken out of the show therefore making the show pure entertainment. However, participants of these shows are given warnings and they have to sign extensive and detailed legal waivers that protect the network from any liability if someone gets hurt on the show.

The increase in demand for these reality TV shows is inevitable and the participants will be pushed to their limits for the bottom line. This happens to be ratings and entertainment.

RV Security

Many people don't realize how important it is to install security devices on their RV or motor home. Think about it just for a second- which makes a better target for thieves, an older-model car, or an expensive-looking motor home stocked with electronics, jewelry, and other high-value possessions? For a criminal, the choice is easy. How can you protect your RV from the range of security threats that may befall it?

First, install door and window alarms on all access points to the RV. These alarms will let off a loud beep when they are opened without first disarming them. This will quickly alert you to anyone trying to break in.

Although many people keep their RV near their home, others opt to keep it in a storage facility when not in use. Always investigate the security offered by the facility. Are identities checked before people are allowed to enter the storage area? Are there security officers who routinely patrol the RV storage area? For the best security, look for secure storage surrounded by high fences and protected with security cameras, bright security lights, and a gate that is passcode-protected.

RV security doesn't stop when you leave home. While traveling in your RV, there are additional security precautions to consider. Be very cautious where you choose to park your RV. Avoid staying overnight at rest stops, which tend to be deserted, making them an attractive place for criminals. If you stop at a rest stop, make it a short break during daylight hours. Lock the RV, even though you aren't going very far from it, and always leave someone in or close to the RV. Don't open the RV door for everyone, even if they are wearing an official-looking uniform.

Many RV travelers make the mistake of leaving their RV unlocked, and even the keys in the ignition and their wallet in the center console, when they get out at a gas station or rest stop. Remember, an RV is even less secure than your regular car because it is so attractive to thieves. Get in the habit of locking the door anytime you leave the RV.

This same principle applies to the RV when you have reached your destination. Whether you're in a deserted campground or a large RV park, everyone is a stranger. Your neighbors won't look twice at a stranger entering your RV, because they have no idea who belongs there and who doesn't. Whenever possible, travel in groups so that you'll have more people around to keep an eye on your RV and your belongings.

Even if your RV doors are locked and you don't see anyone suspicious around, keep the curtains or blinds closed, and all valuables out of sight. When you're camping, it's all too easy to leave your jewelry sitting on a counter in the RV, the door unlocked, and the window wide open. As much as we like to believe that campgrounds are 100% safe and secure, this is not a good idea. The same goes for any camping equipment that people often leave lying around outside their RV. These should all be kept inside the RV, with all doors to storage locked and alarmed.

Although RVs are statistically safer than a house or apartment, this doesn't mean that they are immune from the threat of break-ins. An RV typically has no security devices installed except for the lock on the door, which is all too often left unlocked. Consider these safety precautions whether traveling in your RV or storing it over the winter months.

The History of 3D Technology

3D technology can be traced all the way back to the beginning of photography. In 1844 David Brewster invented the Stereoscope. It was a new invention that could take photographic images in 3D. Later, Louis Jules Duboscq took that invention and improved on it. Louis took a picture of Queen Victoria using the improved technology and displayed it at the Great Exhibition in 1851. This picture became very well known throughout the world. Steroscopic cameras started to catch on and became fairly common for personal use by World War II.

In 1855 the Kinematascope, a stereo animation camera, was invented. It was able to create 3d motion pictures. In 1915 the first anaglyph movie was produced. Anaglyph technology used 3d glasses with 2 different color lenses that would direct an image to each eye. In 1890 William Friese-Greene, a British film pioneer, filed a patent for the 3D movie process. In 1922 the first public 3D movie, "The Power of Love", was displayed. In 1935 the first 3D Color movie was produced. The use of the technology would remain dormant for over a decade.

In the 1950s, 3D technology made a come back. During this era, TVs had become extremely popular and had started appearing in many households. In the 50s a number of 3D movies were being produced. In 1952 "Bwana Devil" by United Artists was shown across the United States. This was the first 3D movie of the 50s. The film was shot using a process called Natural Vision. This process was pitched to Hollywood studios but they all passed. A year later, in 1953, "House of Wax" was released in 3D. "Dial M for Murder" was originally planned to be released in 3D, but Alfred Hitchcock decided to release the movie in 2D to maximize profits. Not all movie theaters were equipped with the 3D technology. 3D films were also being developed outside of the United States. In 1947 The Soviet Union released their first full length 3D movie, "Robinson Crusoe".

In the 1960s a new technology called Space-Vision 3D was released. This technology took two images and printed them over each other on a single strip. Unlike previous 3D technologies, it required a single projector with a special lens. This new technology removed the need to use two cameras to display 3D movies. Two camera systems were difficult to use, because it required that the two cameras were perfectly synced. The first movie to use this technology was "The Bubble". The movie was panned by critics, but the 3D experience still brought huge audiences. It became a profitable movie, making the new technology ready for promotion to other studios.

In 1970, Allan Silliphant and Chris Condon developed Stereovision. This was a new 3D technology that put two images squeezed together side by side on a single strip of 35 mm film. This technology used a special anamorphic lens that would widen the picture using a series of polaroid filters. The first movie to be released in Stereovision was a softcore sex comedy called "The Stewardesses". The movie cost only $100,000 USD to make and it earned an amazing $27 million in North America.

In the early 1980s many movies were released in 3D using the same process as Space Vision. Some of the movies that were released were Amityville 3-D, Friday the 13th Part III, and Jaws 3-D. In the mid 1980s, IMAX began producing documentary films in 3D. IMAx's 3D technology emphasized mathmatical correctness and this eliminated the eye fatigue that was seen in previous 3D technologies. In 1986, Canada had developed the first 3D movie that used polarized glasses. It was called "Echos of the Sun" and was created for Expo 86.

During the 1990s, many films were released in IMAX 3D. The most succesful IMAX 3D film released during this time was "Into the Deep". The first IMAX 3D fiction film, "Wings of Courage" was released in 1996.

During the 2000s, many big studio movies were released in 3D. In 2003, James Cameron released Ghosts of the Abyss. This was the first full length 3D IMAX feature film. This movie used the latest IMAX 3D technology called Reality Camera System. The technology used the latest HD video cameras and was developed by Vince Pace. This same technology was used in "Spy Kids 3D: Game over", "Aliens of the Deep", and "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D". In 2004 the first full length animated 3D movie was released. It was called "The Polar Express". This movie was so succesful in 3D that it prompted a great interest in 3D animated films. The 3D version of the film earned 14x as much per screen as the 2D version. In 2005, The Mann's Chinese 6 theater in Hollywood became the first commercial movie theater to have the Digital 3D technology. In 2007 Scar 3D was released internationally and it was the first film to be filmed using a completely digital workflow.

In 2010 Sky UK made a big push towards 3D television. On January 1st, the first 3D channel began broadcasting in South Korea. The channel displays educational shows, animated shows, sporting events, documentaries and musical performances all in 3D, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We should expect that the use of 3D technology will continue and expand in to the normal household. Most major electronics manufacturers are planning the release of their 3D television lines. As the technology ages, expect prices to go lower and lower, and as they prices drop, more and more people will purchase 3D television sets.
