Matching multiple values from different column
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.
