Appropriate function?
I have a lookup which produced 200 matches (180 unmatched).eg
G_100-01_LS Match G_101-01_LS Match G_102-01_LS Match G_101-01_MN No Match G_102-01_MN No Match G_101-01_PV No Match G_102-01_PV No Match I would like a function that would allocate G_101-01_MN, G_102-01_MN G_101-01_PV, G_102-01_PV as partial matches based on the G_101-01 and G_102-01 prefixes. Can this be done? Also would this function act on the original lookup list or on the resulting list as above? Thanks Hilton |

The following *array* formula will return TRUE if "G_101-01" can be
found in A1:A100. It must be committed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. =PRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH("G_101-01",A1:A100)))0 Does this help?

Hi Hilton.
If the last three characters are never relevant then modify your lookup table so that the index contains only the first 8 characters. Then in the column to the right of your data (assumed B) enter the following formula. =if(isna(match(left(A1,8),LOOKUP,0)),"Not Matched","Matched") Regards Phil "Hilton" wrote: I have a lookup which produced 200 matches (180 unmatched).eg G_100-01_LS Match G_101-01_LS Match G_102-01_LS Match G_101-01_MN No Match G_102-01_MN No Match G_101-01_PV No Match G_102-01_PV No Match I would like a function that would allocate G_101-01_MN, G_102-01_MN G_101-01_PV, G_102-01_PV as partial matches based on the G_101-01 and G_102-01 prefixes.
