One way ..
Source range in A1:A6
Base items to be compared listed in B1:B4
In C1:
=IF(B1="","",IF(SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(B1,$A$1:$A$6)))0,B1,""))
Copy down to C4 (to last row of data in col B)

I'm trying to see if a single cell contains the same text as any
particular cell within a large range of cells. For instance if i have
a column with: (picture this is the first column)
Baseball Bat
Football Shoes
Baseball Glove
Soccer Ball
Golf Club
Turkey Sandwich
and a range of cells that have: (b column)
Baseball
Footbal
Soccer
Golf
I want the C column to return
Baseball
Football
Baseball
Soccer
Golf
#N/A
Is this possible?
Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I tried that formula and it returns:
C1: Baseball
C2: Footbal
C3: Soccer
C4: Golf
C5: <blank
C6: <blank
Basically, it's returning the base comparison items instead of looking
it up and finding which to print.
Any other ideas? I really appreciate the help
