Hello everyone,
I would like to ask for help from the Excel experts out there. I would like to find a way to lookup a sub-string in a lookup table and pick the highest score from this table if two sub-strings in a row are found in the table.
For example, let imagine we have Sheet1 with a set of substrings separted by a space in Column A as depicted below:
Sheet1
Col A
Str1 Str2 Str3
Str4 Str5
Str6 Str7 Str8
I would like to enter your formula in Column B of Sheet1 so it would display the correct score. Please note that the number of sub-strings in each row of Column A may vary.
Now, let's suppose Sheet2 has the following values:
Sheet2
Col A ColB
Str2 10
Str7 10
Str8 20
Therefore, we would expect the following answers:
Sheet1
Col A
Str1 Str2 Str3 10
Str4 Str5
Str6 Str7 Str8 20
Any help on this will be much appreciated.
