removing words/phrase from sentences
I'm looking to create a column of sentences where the words/phrases
which appear in Column A have been removed from the sentences which
appear in Column B so if...
Cell A1 = "take sg over"
Cell B1 = "They plan on taking the company over."
....then I want to get...
Cell C1 = "They are planning to ...... the company ......"
Do you think it is possible to do this using either a MACRO or a
FUNCTION?. I'm currently using the following function for Cell C1...
=REPLACE(B1,SEARCH(LEFT(A1,4),B1), SEARCH("
",SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(B1,"."," "),"?"," "), "!","
"),SEARCH(LEFT(A1,4),B1)+LEN(A1))-SEARCH(LEFT(A1,4),B1),".....")
....but it gives...
Cell C1 = "They plan on ..... over."
....which is obviously inadequate.
Any ideas? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris
