Hi all -
This is a gross simplification of a more complex issue, but I think if I can figure this part out, the rest should fall in line. (And I've spent WAY too much time trying to work it out myself and have stretched my minute knowledge to the limit )
Here's a simplified table:
First Last Data Last,First Data John Smith Smith, David ### xxx xxx Smith, John ### xxx xxx Jones, John ###
The basic gist is that I'd like to use either VLOOKUP or INDEX-MATCH to find both the First AND Last name text strings (e.g., "John" AND "Smith") within the same cell of the Last,First column (e.g., "Smith, John") and return the adjacent value into the corresponding empty cell. With the commas and spaces, I know I need to search for partial matches, incorporate wildcards, etc., but I haven't been able to put it all together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks -
