I have 2 files. FileA contains the item names. FileB contains a list of keywords. I need a formula that I can use on FileA on the second column that will scan all the keywords listed in FileB and put "1" if it matches and 0 if it doesn't match. I really need help on this. I need it for work and its due tomorrow. Thank you everyone!
Hi,
Showing some samples from each sheet would help us better understand your request.
Also, you might want to change your thread title to something more descriptive before a MOD comes along and put a Halt on this thread until you do.
File A
red hat
black hat
file B
red hat is cool
black hat
blue hat
Hi,
You really should change the thread title.
Would something like this work for you.
Excel 2016 (Windows) 64 bit
red hat black hat purple hat
Sheet: Sheet17
Excel 2016 (Windows) 64 bit
Sheet: Sheet17
Excel 2016 (Windows) 64 bit

Change adjust cell references/range as needed, change sheet names to match yours.
formula123 welcome to the forum
Please take a moment to read the forum rules and then amend your thread title to something descriptive of your problem - not what you think the answer might be. (think google search terms?). Once you have done this please send me a PM and I will remove this request. (Also, include a link to your thread - copy from the address bar)
Many members search our previous posts, and thread titles play a big part of the search. I doubt anybody would do a search based on your title?
To change a Title on your post, click EDIT POST then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.
(note: this change is not optional)
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
Regards
Ford
Hi thanks a lot but how come if I use on sheet 17 "red hat" and on sheet 18 "red" it will turn up as 0? can you make it so it will turn up as 1? Thanks!
Sorry to keep "picking on you, but...
Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.
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).
Please make sure to include the full link, so that other members will be permitted to continue helping you
Note that if you have fewer than 10 posts, you may need to type the link, or past it in pieces (or ask a mod to do that for you)
Sorry, can't help further, MOD request pending.
@ FDibbins,
Hello Ford,
Wasn't feeling too well and decided to keep myself busy.
Thank you for being so alert, I also found the same Thread posted here: https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/1064914-urgent-help-need-vlookup-forumla.html
Under the circumstances, I shall withhold any further assistance.
Take care,
Kind regards.
Please consider:
Be polite. Thank those who have helped you. Then Click on the star icon in the lower left part of the contributor's post and add Reputation. Cleaning up when you're done. If you are satisfied with the help you have received, then Please do Mark your thread [SOLVED] .
Hi boet, hoe gaan dit?
wat was fout?
@Winon, I've reported the cross post at the link you posted, that's probably why Ford posted #7
OP, got your PM, sorry, I'm not breaking rules and risking getting "banned", all you have to do is comply with the rules as suggested in Post #5 & #7
@ FDibbins,
Hello Ford,
Onstabiele angina, het my keel weer laat toe trek. Sukkel om asem te kry as ek probeer slaap.
Medication helps my a bit over it after about three minutes.
Feeling better already.
Dankie Vriend!
@ jtakw,
Welldone! Way to go, jtakw!
Regards.
I guess that seeing as Winon has provided the link, jtakw, go for it
@ Winon, you better hang in there, boet, I WILL have a castle (of klippies) with you next time I make it over (that is, if we are both allowed a dop LOL)
Ok Ford,
I actually already posted this solution at OPs cross post, but with your permission:
Excel 2016 (Windows) 64 bit
red hat black hat purple hat pink hat
Sheet: Sheet17
Excel 2016 (Windows) 64 bit
Sheet: Sheet17
Excel 2016 (Windows) 64 bit
red hat is cool black hat blue hat cool red hat pink
Sheet: Sheet18
Change/adjust cell references/range as needed, change sheet names to match yours.
The OP ought to have been asked to change the thread title, too.
Please take a moment to re-read forum rule #1 and then amend your thread title to something that better explains your problem. Changing your thread title is not optional, which means you must change it. Thanks!
- Use concise, accurate thread titles.
- Your post title should describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.
- Use terms appropriate to a Google search - poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice tell us nothing.
- Responding to a request to change your thread title by doing so is mandatory.
To change a title go to your first post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title.
No help to be offered, please, until the OP complies with this request.
