I need a way to do the following in Excel:
column A has text
column B needs a
Formula that returns specific value(s)
ie. want to
find any of 17 specific strings within a row in column A and return that (those) string value(s) in column B
for example row1 column A contains the following:
Troubleshooter Notes: Sound KVSND Tree was not used as doc exists that covered the specific issue
The formula in column B needs to be able to find any of the following values (note: these values could be placed in a
lookup table):
"KVBAT" "KVBLTH" "KVDNW" "KVDOC" "KVDWB" "KVFLSH" "KVKBD" "KVLAN" "KVODD" "KVOTH" "KVPFS" "KVRCVY" "KVSB2" "KVSFT" "KVSND" "KVVID" "KVWFI"
and place the found value(s) in row 1 column B
in the above example column B would return the value:
KVSND
the formula needs to be diverse enough to return
multiple values if more than 1 value is found
for example row1 column A:
Troubleshooter Notes: Sound KVSND Tree was not used as doc exists that covered the specific issue, Performance Security Troubleshooter KVPFS The system has worked previously performance expectation is being set by previous performance or a message
row 1 column B should return the following values (preferably with a space between each value):
KVSND KVPFS
Thank you for your help,
