    How to find specific text in a column and insert corresponding value

    Hi,
    I need to search for part of firm name in a very long list of full names and find and insert its corresponding numeric ID in a separate column.

    For instance, in the attached example, I need to search for each "part name" (column D) in the list given in B and, if the part is found, insert its corresponding ID from A into a cell in E that corresponds to the search text.

    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Best regards,
    guest

    Put this formula to E2 and drag down:

    =INDEX($A$2:$B$10,MATCH("*"&D2&"*",$B$2:$B$10,0),1)
