Default Excel module: Mark records if it contains names out of another list

Hello,

I've got an spreadsheet with several columns. The datafields of it are
filled with a lot of text. A part of the text could be one or more of
the people that are linked to my group. I'v got a separate list with
the names of those people with in the next column their company nr.
(for example: McGregor UTP135)

In detail:
Sheet 1, Column B, C and D is filled with text and perhaps one or more
of the names of my people is a part of it.
Sheet 2, Column A is the persons name and Column B is the company nr.

What I like to have;
A module which looks in sheet 1 if the name of a person (from sheet 2)
is filled in in one of the columns B,C,D per record. If so, then the
module has to set the persons name in column E and thecompany nr in
column F.
The module has to do this for each name on the list of sheet 2.

remarks:
It could be possible that more then one person of the list in sheet 2
is filled in in the same record of sheet 1.
I think that its to difficult (?) to set in the same record of column
E/F also the other name/companynr of the other people. No problem if
so, but....... it should be nice :).
Another solution could be that the module registered in column G the
totalnumber of found people but registered in column E/F only the
first one that were found. (for example: McGregor UTP135 3).
Then I know that I have to check also in detail the marked record for
the other names.

If somebody can help me out :):):) (happy).

regards,
Johan.
