    Find partial string and report corresponding code

    Good morning I would need a help for a formula that checks if the string of column B is present in column E.
    * if it exists, report the relative column code A.
    In column I you find the desired result.
    thank you

    In G1, copied down:

    =IFERROR(LOOKUP(1000,SEARCH($B$1:$B$10,E1),$A$1:$A$10),"Not Found")

    Try this:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(A$1:A$10,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(SEARCH(B$1:B$10,E1)),0)),"not found") Ctrl Shift Enter

    NO, I figured I clicked on Add reputation
    I do not know what came out.
    If I can rectify how can I do?
    Something must have happened that was not wanted by me.
    Yet I did it other times to add reputation
    let me know
    Thank you

    Odd. When I look at the rep... all of them have a small green rectangle at the left... except yours, which is red. So I guess it's negative... Oh well, never mind!!

    I'm sorry I do not know why he gives you a small red rectangle at the left ...
    My Rep was not negative
    Indeed a big thank you deserve it and it is not the first time that you help me.
