I have a worksheet with the following details

Object Name Last Database Backup

NZ01_root 24/10/09 01:11:02
NZ01_netezza_data 24/10/09 05:43:14
AIX353_livebe_RMAN 24/10/09 01:06:05
AIX353_livech_RMAN 23/10/09 23:39:04

Now can i kind of create a code or template that would like have a fixed
list which has to be searched within the worksheet? For e.g in the above
example, say i have a report which publishes hundreds of object names, how do
i get the date and times of "Z01_root" and "NZ01_netezza_data" only, the
rest should be filtered out. i am talking about just keeping like 100 object
names out of a list of 500 object names. Note: there is no order, row/coloumn
for the initial report which has all the details.
