    Search for multiple words

    Dear All,

    After hours trying to solve this problem I'm looking for help from this forum members.
    My problem is that I have two sheets: one with date and ful name (written in diferent ways) and in another sheet I have the names list with two columns name and surname. Sometimes surname have 3 words.

    I have to check all the names in sheet (names) if they are booked (book). Its indeferent if I put on names sheet the date where they are booked (prefered) or if I put on the book sheet saying true if they are in names list (not all of the ppl on names sheet are booked). Just want to automate things without errors because when there is an error someone doesn't go in vacations.

    Already tryied to concatenate, vlookup. Tryied to check name then surname and if both true result would be true. Doesn't work because it matches diferent rows on book sheet.

    Anyone can point me the right direction, pls.

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    There are no no matches in your data from sheet1 to sheet2??
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    yes, just as example. Original sheets have hundreds of rows each.
    With this size I would check them personally and automation would not be necessary.

    Thks for noticed.

    OK but it would help greatly if there WERE some matches? That way we can test options against data that we know does match
