Does a word in a string match any words on a list on another sheet? Nope. Epic fail.

Hello all! I have read posts and searched on the forum for an answer myself before posting. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find the solution to the problem I have been having.

I'm doing communications research and wanted to check if particular social media messages contain a metaphor. I took JSON data from a database where I had been storing the messages and imported it into excel and extracted the message body text out of the original string (in my case, it resides in cell C2). It stores this in cell E2.

I have a list of metaphors on Sheet1, in column A1 which are words and phrases separated into rows. And I'm so stuck! I have been able to code extractions of words from the text, logical tests for words in the messages, and matches so far with limited knowledge. I just cannot for the life of me figure out how to check if any of the words in the message body (E2) are on the list on Sheet1. All I need is a simple binary for the result--1 for yes or a 0 for no. (Heck any accurate return would then achieve my undying gratitude).

I can't post a link to the example, but if someone could help (or put me out of my misery) that would be fantastic.

Here's what I have:

C2---------------------------E2--------------------------Metaphor?
Raw twitter JSON----------Extracted Message---------List of metaphors on Sheet1

Is there any use of a metaphor (according to Sheet1) in the string in E2?

Rule 08: Cross-posting Without Telling Us

Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not cross-post your question on multiple forums without telling us about your threads on other forums.

Post a link to any other forums where you have asked the same question. If you have fewer than 10 posts here, you will not be able to post a link, but you must still tell us where else you have asked the question.

Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

No further help to be offered, please, until the OP has complied with this request.
