Office XP pro,
Thanks in advance, I have been trying to figure this out for a week. Have a 10 words text in each cell in column B Have 1 reference each in Column J Need to pick a cell from column J based on one or more of the words in column B and show itin column H Something like: =if(b2="*retirement*",J5,"NOT FOUND") Notice the *, the word retirement is included in a phrase that contain many other words. but it is much more complicated than that: Probably an "Array", which I just can't seen to get the hang of, There are many possible conditions in column B that need corresponding entries for column J: Column B Column J retirement Not found award Rule 10 call Rule 5 Welcoming Rule 12 hosting Rule 2 change Rule 8 ,etc ,etc Such that B2:B2..B100 =J2..J2:J23 (only 22 rules + "Not Found") Column B can be any length but would have only a limited amout of words to lookup the rule in J. Each cell in B would have only one reference in J, but B could be redundant, for ex: B2 could be "award" and B6 could be "award" and B32 could be "award". Thanks again,,, too tough for me |
