    Re: SEARCH function for multiple variables - VLOOKUP?

    Ok, so specifically what do you want help with here?

    I wouldn't "laugh" at anyone who makes the effort to have a go at what are quite complex Excel formulas (ok, maybe column I...), but I should let you know that column I does contain a bunch of #REF! errors - presumably you cut some sheets/cell references before posting?

    Anyway, like I said, if you could be specific about what exactly you want help with in here.

    TO SEND take 2.xlsxHiya, I have tidied up my mess and you will see on sheet2 my idea behind the lists.

    Things that do not work:

    1 I can't get the entity LOOKUP formula to respond.
    2 Names, please see highlighted in yellow as an example.
    3 Advice on how to search for the bad words formula.
    4 Company name - looks ok??

    Regarding, whether its a surname or not there is no way to really tell, but I would like it to return a best guess first name for instance, as per my list.

    I think I'm nearly there, thanks to you!! :D
