Hello,

I've read through posts and couldnt find an specific reply for my request,
I'm looking for a formula that lets me find a text C1, within a text
string
contained in a range A:A, and return me the adjacent cell value of the
string
into cell D1.
Text in Cell C1 may repeat in arrange A:A, but are few cases and wouldnt
matter if they did not return a value.

So it would look like this:
A B C D
TIMER COMPANY 1234 REX 1235
REX COMPANY 1235 COMPANY N/A#
ALPHA COMPANY 1236 TIMER 1234

Thanks a lot to the community.
