Hi all,
I spent the better part of 3 hours today trying to solve this on my own, so sorry to have to come crawling for direct help! Here's my problem i hope you experts can help with...
-- I have a spreadsheet with 2 sheets in it "Negatives" and "Report".
-- I'd like to search Column A of the Negatives sheet for the contents of Column B of the Report sheet.
-- I would then like to place in Column C of the Negatives sheet the entry it matched from Column B of the Report sheet.
-- The cells will not match exactly, so I need to be able to search within the cells of Column A of the Negatives sheet.
-- And there are hundreds of entries in each column of both sheets.
To Illustrate:
Negatives Sheet:
A1 contains "on a park bench"
A2 contains "with chicken salad"
A3 contains "tea for two"
C1 is blank
C2 is blank
C3 is blank
Report Sheet:
B1 contains "salad"
B2 contains "tea"
B3 contains "grass"
My desired result would be:
Negative Sheet:
A1 contains "on a park bench"
A2 contains "with chicken salad"
A3 contains "tea for two"
C1 is blank
C2 changed to "salad"
C3 changed to "tea"
I hope that's comprehensive and clear enough for someone to understand what i'm hoping for!
Thank you!![]()
