Matching multiple values from different column

[Help help]

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

welcome to the forum.

assuming your table starts at row 1 (ie, no header row); insert below formula in C1

=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$500,"*"&B1&"*")>0,"Yes","No") 

or, European Format

=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$500;"*"&B1&"*")>0;"Yes";"No") 

and copy it down to desired row.
