    Re: how to find range of words in a list of rows

    Logic check: why does row 6 return "blue", when you are looking for exact matches? "blue" doesn't exist as an exact match in your [range of words].
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...

    Hi

    See if helps you.

    The array formula provides only one word for column.
    Try in B2 and copy across and down
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    array formula must be entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

    Hi Olly That actually worked. Just a little confusion, should i need to repeat the entire process every time or is there anyway to save your query and access its functionality from the ribbon. Hope you understand my concern.
