Hi all
I have a spreadsheet like the below, where I am trying to figure out if the values in column B are contained in their corresponding cell in column A. I am using the following formula in column C:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(B2,A2,1)),"Pass","Fail")

The problem is with row 3, which should have a Pass Status. Even though the full text string in B isn't contained in A, the actual numbered categories are.
I am trying (if possible) to avoid any long-winded splitty windey way to achieve this, and my vaguest thought is if I can check by 3 digit number values between the two cells somehow. All values are consistent in that they are a three digit number, and then a dash, and then the text.
Is it possible to do something like this, or would there be another relatively simple way?
Thanks!
