    Index Match with multiple criteria involving find text

    Struggling with Finding an index match formula that will ultimately be used between two workbooks. I've attached a sample file greatly amended.

    looking for a formula in column B on the cancellation worksheet that will enter the word "Recovered" if the New Trip ID matches a Trip ID on the complaints worksheet Column B and the corresponding Previous Activity Comments Column C contains the phrase "Trip Recovered." or leave the cell blank.
    This phrase may be in the beginning, middle or end of the comments (so looking for perhaps a wildcard here)

    Thanks for any help.

    I highlighted the comments that contain the phrase and also added a column on the Cancellation worksheet that show which cells to the left should contain the "Recovered" text

    Hi DBY
    This work well.
    I'd like to see if there is a way to do it with INDEX Match since they may change the column format so comments is left of the trip ID. If I don't see another response by mid afternoon then I'll close with my sincere thanks for a great formula.

    This variant, using I-M, will do what you need...

    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Trip recovered",INDEX(Complaints!$C$2:$C$22,MATCH(Cancellation!A2,Complaints!$B$2:$B$22,0)))),"Recovered","")
