Hi
don't think this is really possible in Excel. Esp. with changing tense,
etc.

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.
