    Re: Searching for unknown text string in a range and then matching it to a reference table

    Colors.xlsxIn separate cells would work. My raw data is transposed though. Sorry, I don't know how to make that table you just showed but my data shows up like this:

    A....B....C....D....E
    red..<>...<>..blue..<>
    <>..grey..<>...<>..<>
    <>..<>...green..<>..<>
    <>..grey...<>...<>..pink

    Is there a way to make it show up 'red' and 'blue' for the first row, 'grey' for the second, 'green' for the third, 'grey' and 'pink' for the fourth row, etc?

    Thanks!
