Sheet 1
A1 = "Me, You"
B1 = (after vlookup) "Art, Joe"

Sheet 2
A1 = "Me" and B1 = "Art"
A2 = "You" and B2 = "Joe"

Does your data actually contain all those quotes?

Is it possible to have a cell contain two pieces of informaton (e.g., A1 =
"Me, You"), a vlookup statement to look for each pece of informaton in
that
cell (e.g., first "Me", then "You") in another sheet, and display the
match
in B1?

Sheet 1
A1 = "Me, You"
B1 = (after vlookup) "Art, Joe"

Sheet 2
A1 = "Me" and B1 = "Art"
A2 = "You" and B2 = "Joe"

I tried all different kinds of =VLOOKUP with different functions, and I
can't figure t out, of course I assume its possble to even use VLOOKUP in
this way. Perhaps I need to use a macro?

Thanks!
