Hi I'm trying to use a list of wildcard words to search multiple cells for any of the listed words. If the searched cells contain any version of the word ie *bird* should activate with any of the following (Bird, Birds, birds, bluebird, birdbath), then I would like a yes returned. If not then either leave blank or return a no. I've got a number of formulas but they aren't quite right and I'm not very good at creating/changing formulas.
From what I've attached sheet 1 (export Dump) is just all the info dumped in. Sheet 2 (Data Tables) has the tables of words that I want to look for. Sheet 3 (Filtered Results) is the filtered version of sheet 1 and what I'm trying to figure out is codes for Columns E+F in Filtered Results, based on text in column C+D.
Right now I've got the following code for Test1 =IFERROR(LOOKUP(1,-SEARCH('Data Tables'!$D$2:$D$4,C2:D2),'Data Tables'!$D$2:$D$4),"") however it doesn't seem to be getting all the wildcard versions ie D3 (filtered Results) contains birdbath which should return a result. Also it's spitting out the stringword rather than just Yes.
I tried something a bit different with Test2 with the following code =IF(COUNTIF(C2:D2,'Data Tables'!$E$2:$E$3),"Yes","No") but it gives me a spill error.
Essentially if a formula works for test1 then it should work with test2 once I change the data table.
I hope this makes sense.
