Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, that counts as convoluted. I'll just go back to the SQL or something. I hate data.

Thanks, though.

The problem is I need to search a range (most of a row), not a cell. That's what's tripping me up. I guess I could concatenate those cells first--it's just dragging the formulas, in the end.

Thanks.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

oh, I see. how many cells are in the row, roughly?

Fifteen or so?

ita, can you import the document into google docs? there are Hlookup commands and vlookup commands that should be able to do what you want.

Hello? Why am I not using hlookup? I use vlookup all the time.

I will get on that tomorrow.

Wait, will hlookup look within the string? Shit I have so little time between meetings today.

Coding and Sleeping

Even with a Sansa clip, I'd have no way to get the files from the Internet to the device since Overdrive for Mac only recognizes mp3s.

Ah, I didn't think about that aspect of the problem. Yikes, I can't really think of a way around that unless the Overdrive folks can get their app to deal with the WMA aspect, which, I don't see Apple approving an app that does WMA DRM.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

No. I still think a one line macro is the simplest way to go.
