d2: =INDEX($B$2:$B$16,MATCH(C2&"*",$A$2:$A$16,0))
e2: =LOOKUP(2,1/ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C2,$A$2:$A$16)),$B$2:$B$16)
copy downwards
Match returns on first match found. Lookup returns on last match found.

This is great, works perfect. Thank you!
No problem, glad I could help.
Oh shoot, sorry I just saw something that may be an issue. i've got two "categories" which have similar prefixes. In the attachment there is now "doe" and "do". it finds the first one fine but on the second "do" it goes back and recognizes the first instance of "doe".
