i have following table
I need an Excel formula in column A for all values in column B. the formula should look for all values in column 'lookup table' one by one and find if the value (for example 'aaa') is contained column 'lookup value'. for example in this case (aaa) it is in B2 and B6. The following should be the result
will appreciate your help. i looked for vlookup and but normally the formula is used for value in column C. in my case i need for column B.
best regards rnv
Using ISNUMBER(MATCH()):
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(MATCH("*"&$C$2:$C$4&"*",B2,0))),"x","")
Using ISNUMBER(SEARCH())
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($C$2:$C$4,B2))),"x","")
With Office 365 Dynamic BYROW, we can spill:
=BYROW(B2:B6,LAMBDA(a,IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($C$2:$C$4,a))),"x","")))
