    Smile User Defined Lookup Function

    Hello guys...

    I've a list of values(words) in a column and want to compare and search them from another column (just like we do using vlookup function). But here the problem is that the values(words) are not exact, so I need a function through which we can look for the key words and give me either rows number of the string containing the key words...Is that possible?


    Thanks in Advance...
    Regards,
    Manoj

    You could use VB Script to do what you want, but then again thats not what you asked for.

    It's not too clear how the results are determined.
