Return search item/s from array or list in a cell (exact match)

Hello,

I like to get desired result if data match with list in a cell. See image

Thanks in advance

I don't really understand how you are getting your desired result... Please explain again. Also...

Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? Please don't attach a picture of one (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).

1. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!

4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Thanks for prompt reply.

I like to get desired result thru new formula .

formula used is for count occurrence of listed strings in a cell but unable to get listed strings whom match with data.

thanks if you get my point.....

See attached sample file

Paste this code into a module:

use this array-entered formula:

=ConcatAll(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($C$9:$C$13,C2)),$C$9:$C$13,""),", ")

Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER.

You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...

Thanks for support.

I am looking for formula based solution...

Is this possible without VBA / macro.....????

No. I don't think so. Concatenating results like that makes it pretty much obligatory.
