Excel Macro Using "Like" comparison

I have found it convenient to use a macro code such as - If Cells(x, 3) Like
SS = True Then Check = "True"- where SS is - SS = Range("E12") & "*".

I find that this comparison is case sensitive, which is inconvenient for my
purposes. Is there a way of making this process insensitive to case with this
macro code or some other code?

Make the comparison in the same case like this:

If LCase(Cells(x, 3).Value) Like "ss = true" Then Check = "True"
- where SS is - SS = Range("E12") & "*"

Disregard the last one, I hit post in error.

You can also use the "Option Compare" statement at the top of the module
to force a case-insensitive comparison: Option Compare Text

I don't follow your example, but in general I like converting to upper case
for case insensitive comparison.

If UCase(s1) Like UCase(s2) Then...
