Excel formula to check if the exact value in Column XX exists anywhere in Column XXX
If the category (highlighted in green) is found within the material description (highlighted in purple), then the value from the code column (highlighted in blue) should be transferred to the new code column(highlighted in yellow).
I've attached a sample Excel file for clarification. I need to transfer the values from the blue column(code) to the yellow column(new code).

=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH($E$2:$E$14,B2)))>0
So far, I have found a formula, but it only returns true or false. I need a formula that transfers the value from column F
Before we go any further with this, please update your forum profile with your Excel version, as requested - Word is completely irrelevant. Thanks.
Done. Pls check now.
Thank you.
Please explain your expected results - I do not follow your attempted explantion with the arrows, so use words, please.
Hi,
Try in C2 and drag down and to the left (when more than 1 result) :
=IFERROR(LET(a,(ROW($E$1:$E$6)*((SEARCH($E$1:$E$6,$B2)>0))),INDEX($F$1:$F$6,AGGREGATE(15,6,a,COLUMNS($B:B)))),"no")
