    Concatenate or Substitute from multiple sheets/columns with wildcard validation?

    I have nice large set of data that I'm trying to condense into fewer rows/columns. It's a product list from a mfg. I need to condense the products into categories. Easy? No, because this is how the data is presented:

    Sheet 1 - Actual part #'s:
    ABC123A.123
    ABC123B.123
    ABC123C.123
    ABC123A.456
    ABC123B.456


    Sheet 2 defines the category and a generic product number ("x" is the wildcard):
    Category Part #
    CATEGORY A ABC123x.123
    CATEGORY B ABC123x.456

    I need to find a way to pull the data from Sheet 1,Column A and display it on Sheet 2 in one cell in Column B.

    Ultimately this is what I'd like the end result to be:
    Category Part #'s (Separated by ",")
    CATEGORY A ABC123A.123,ABC123B.123,ABC123C.123
    CATEGORY B ABC123A.456,ABC123B.456

    Does this explanation make sense and is it possible?
