Use the Find (case sensitive) or Search functions (case insensitive). These
are worksheet functions. See Excel help for details.

I am wanting to take a string in a cell containing multiple data elements to
an array and have the data in the cell either trimmed or to highlight the
element that is matched in the array.

Example:

Cell B2 contains:
MROMANO | MTELLIG | JGURECK | MWOLK | LGAZDA | GVANBUH | CSHOAF | STILLER |
RVERBIC | DSTEPHE | BLANGLI

Cells AA2:AA10 contain the array for comparison.

I am not sure where to proceed from here since this appears a bit complex
from the onset. Thanks in advance for any insights.
