    Cell A1 contains Long Text and another Cell A2 gives small text

    If A1 is "Cross-national and global-regional strategy formulation. Determining of overall multi-national organisations strategy and direction. Decides the “what” jointly with the board. Board influences the strategy. Turnover usually bigger than $1bn. Income mostly from 1 country." then A2 is "G1"; and if A1 is "Cross-national and global multinational strategy formulation and direction. Decides the “what” jointly with the board. Board influences the strategy. Turnover usually over $4bn. Income mostly from a few countries." then A2 is "G1"; and ...."G6"

    Create a table of descriptions and returns values (G1 G2 etc)
    Then use a VLOOKUP.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Put your descriptions in Sheet2 column A
    Put your return values in Sheet2 column B

    =VL:OOKUP(Sheet1!A1,Sheet2!A1:B100,2,0)

    where Sheet1!A1 is the description you want to find.

    I can't see the formula unless you show me it (My Superman X-Ray powers dont work on a Wednesday).

    #N/A means what you are looking up is not in the table.
