    Looking up contents of cells in multiple cells

    Hi Guys

    I have a list of names on Sheet 1 E.g Joe Bloggs; Nancy Smith

    On sheet 2 i also have a list of names E.g Bloggs, Joe F; Smith, Nancy A.

    I would like to see if there is a way to lookup the names on sheet 1 (Surname most probably) to see if they exist anywhere in Sheet 2.

    Is there an easy way of doing this without text to columns?

    Thanks

    Try this:

    =VLOOKUP(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))&"*",Sheet2!$A$1:$A$2,1,FALSE)
