Finding keywords in several text columns
Excel 2000: Need to compare text in cells in sheets.
One spreadsheet has simplified company names as keywords in one column (e.g. B1 = "xyz", B2 = "abc corp" etc.). The other has a large company database, in which 2 columns contain company names in non-standardized format (e.g. columns F and G contains long lists like "xyz llp", "company xyz", "xyz.com", "abc corporation", "def unlimited" etc.) I need to check if the company names on my list are anywhere in the two columns that have company names in the other spreadsheet. Ie. for each co name - is the name in there or not? Simply should return Yes in column C1 etc. if (text in simplified keyword list B1) is contained in any (text in the 2 database company name columns); No if nowhere in those 2 columns. I have not found a MS formula that helps me get the text comparison right. Your thoughts? Thanks. |
