New Notice for experts and gurus:
Recently, it has become clear that some members (especially newer members) have been confused by "mixed messages" coming from non-Moderators. They are unclear how to react to such requests. Accordingly, we are now asking all members NOT to attempt to moderate threads. From now on, that will be done by forum Moderators only.We continue to encourage the reporting of posts/threads where cross-posting has not been declared, where measures to bypass sheet security are requested, or where abusive language is being used. Generally speaking, it it NOT necessary to report poor titles, spam, lack of code tags, etc, as these are easily spotted by forum Moderators.From now on, those posts made by non-Mods that are attempting to carry out Moderation activities will be deleted.

Looking for PART of a cell, in another column and return corresponding value

Hi,

So I have a sheet "OUT" and in B1 of this sheet I have data of purchases i.e. "'plusnet 876249"

In C1 I want to take the data from B1, and search for a match in column A on another sheet "DATA", and return a corresponding value from the cell next to the match.

The thing is, I just want to search for the term Plusnet, as the numbers on the end will always be changing.

Can somebody please help? I've tried wildcards but not sure I was doing it properly.

Cheers
