Hi,

I have to find a way how to compare two columns in excel. One column has bunch of text among which I have to check if particular word from the other column appears.
What should be the formula for that? Thank you in advance for your help

Table would look something like this:


Column1
Column2
Result


How should I compare it?
it



and check if the
have



words I'm
looking



looking for are
disposal



in the column I have




at disposal

It is unclear what the result should be. True/False, Row number? What about multiple occurrences, words within words (is/disposal), partial matches etc.
