    Check a value from another table exists in cell and return this value.

    I have a column of data. I would like create formula which checks whether the site reference name exists and returns it:

    Existing Column : Required Output
    43VICTORIA 001225 REM : VICTORIA
    41CHANCERY LANE GO 001361 REM : CHANCERY
    43VICTORIA 001224 REM : VICTORIA
    43VICTORIA 001223 REM : VICTORIA
    41366 STRAND 000970 REM : STRAND
    44CHEAPSIDE 001279 REM : CHEAPSIDE


    I have a list of the site references:
    VICTORIA
    CHANCERY
    STRAND
    CHEAPSIDE

    Can you please help me! I need a solution that does not use VBA.
    Thanks
    James

    Assume your existing column starts in A1 and your output column starts in B1. Also assume your site references are in I1:I4.
    Put this in B1 and drag down:
    =INDEX($I$1:$I$4,SUMPRODUCT(NOT(ISERROR(FIND($I$1:$I$4,A1)))*ROW($A$1:$A$4)))
