Default Search help


Hi,

Tried a few functions for this but i cant get it to do what im looking
for!

I have 8 worksheets and Im trying to get a specific reference from A1
on sheet1.

The other 7 pages has all the info in column A

I want B2 to tell me the reference it found out of the text in A1, if
its possible

Example:

sheet1
A1 = abc toy car pt no 789DIN1

on sheet2
A1= 785DIN1955
A2= 786DIN1966
A3= 789DIN1977

This is the closest reference on all of my worksheets so i want

Sheet1
B2 = 789DIN1977

If it cant be done then i would like the same if
Sheet1
A1= abc toy car pt no 789DIN1977

Ive tried using the Search and Match function but i dont think it can
be done using these (cus i dont know enough)

Any help?
