Pls follow following steps
1) Insert one column before column A. Now column C will become D and insert again one column before column D. Keep row 1 blank. Your data will be as follows now A B C D E ================================ blank row 1 SCRA-PE RAG === row 2 T.RAGL-OR SCRUB FRA GILE BRAG FLAG write following formula in cell a2 (I assume that your data is upto row no. 100) =IF(ISERROR(FIND(C$2,B2)=TRUE),0,MAX(A1:A$1)+1) copy this formula till the end (i.e. 100th row) Now write sr. nos 1, 2 3, 4 and so on in column D. Then write following formula in cell e2 and copy it till end =VLOOKUP($D2,$A$1:$b$100,2,0) This will give you result as follows A B C D E 0 SCRA-PE RAG 1 T.RAGL-OR 1 T.RAGL-OR 2 BRAG 0 SCRUB 3 #N/A 0 FRA GILE 4 #N/A 2 BRAG 5 #N/A 0 FLAG 6 #N/A Just change the parameter in C2 and see the result "driller" wrote: e.g. A B C SCRA-PE RAG T.RAGL-OR T.RAGL-OR BRAG SCRUB FRA GILE BRAG FLAG -- regards, "driller" wrote: Hello all, In column A filled with text, i need to find the full text which contain a phrase that is equal to cell B1 and list them all on Column C. e.g. A B C SCRA-PE RAG T.RAGL-OR T.RAGL-OR BRAG SCRUB FRA GILE BRAG FLAG I hope someone can help me with my basics. -- best regards, |

on C1 '=ISNUMBER(SEARCH($b$1,A1)) and the True or false appears, and I do the filtering, same as your suggestion. thanks again. -- regards, "Prashant Runwal" wrote: Pls follow following steps 1) Insert one column before column A.
