I deal with many manufactures providing our products. Each of the products
contain a different keyword. I have been able to isolate the keywords from each of the product descriptions and assign a unique manufacturing code. But here is the issue a can not solve. In column "A" I have the list of product descriptions from each of the manufacturers In column "B" I need to perform the search listed below In column "C" I have the list of keywords; i.e. Delta, Galaxy, etc. In column "D" I have the associated manufacture code to the keywords Because the list of product descriptions and keywords number in the hundreds I can not hardcode all of the keywords into the formulas. Plus, the keywords can be anywhere within the text string. In cell B2 I would like to search cell A2 for the keyword from the range of C2:C200, and then assign the associated manufacture code from the range of D2:D200. And, I would need to copy this formula down column "B" so it can perform the same process against the range of entries in A2:A500. I've tried nested if, countif, vlookup, and array formulas, but can not get them to work. Any help and guidance would be very much appreciated. |
