    Lookup various possible configurations

    To all Excel Expert,

    I've a problem that I've been trying to solve for months and since I've decided to have enough of manual check and eye-balling through thousands of lines or Excel, I've decided to put up this question to the world and seek for a solution.

    My difficulty and desired answer to obtain is on attached file.

    Basically, what I'm trying to do is that, assuming a company name called PAPER COMPANY INC, which is assigned to Jane Smith, has multiple name forms such as PAPER CO, PA P ER, PAP ER, P APER, etc, and through eye-balling or manual, we knew that all those various/similar 'paper' name were the same as PAPER COMPANY INC and should give a return value to 'Jane Smith'.

    Thus, my questions is how do I go about using vlookup OR any other formulas in Excel to be able to return 'Jane Smith' as the answer, doesn't matter what are the variation of PAPER would come out.

    Thank you
