    How to lookup and match item and return the size

    I'm trying to know which items are standard size and which items are oversize, so i have a sheet with all the items in column A, then i have a report on a another workbook identifying which items are SS and which items are OS, but the problem is that the report says for standard size "Lg-Std-Non-Media" and for oversize "Sm-Oversize" so i need a function should say something like this, if the item in workbook 1 is the same as workbook 2 and the size is "*Std*" then give me back the word "SS" and if the size says "*Oversize" then give me back "OS"

    I made a ltl research and i find out that the wildcard asterisk is not working in a if function.

    I cannot say if it's "Lg-Std-Non-Media" it should give me back "SS" because it doesn't always start with Lg, sometimes it's Sm... that's why i thought i need the *

    See attached doc. for an example.
    SS OS.xlsx

    Thanks in advance.

    Do you need to retain the "Lg" and "Sm" data? If not you could you could make (or be helped to make) a formula to just clean up your raw data and remove those two for an easy solution.

    Yes it has to retain, because that report will be changed every time for a new one, so it has to be made with an automatic function.
