Default Text formula

Hi
I am trying to find out how should I proceed with the folowing problem.
I have a group category of data in sheet 1 as folows:

Sheet1
COLUMN A:A
Group category
PCM
GLOBAL PURCHASING
CMT
GROUP NETWORK

In sheet2 I have different charges that I need to sumarize, but the problem
is, that descriptions can contain more information and I can't just simply
use a vlookup formula. I need to apply a formula that will recognize group
category in the text

SHEET2

Description amount formula
PCM AAAA AAAA AAAAA 111 =pcm
AAA CMT AAAAA 223 =cmt
AAAA GROUP NETWORK 2131 =group network
ttttttt 654 =other

Thanks in advance
Eva
