I would like to lookup key words in my bank statement descriptions in order to categorize the transaction.
Here is an example of the Descriptions I will search in (Cell C2)
BURGER KING #9905 08/31 PURCHASE MARLBOROUGH MA
THE OLIVE GARD00016261 08/31 PURCHASE MARLBOROUGH MA
BIG Y 29 HOLDE 09/02 PURCHASE HOLDEN MA
Will be using the below table to search for the first field (Cell $I$2) in order to return the second field (Cell $J$2)
Burger King Fastfood Olive Dining Big Y Groceries
I am using below formula now
=(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($I$2,C2)),$J$2,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($I$3,C2)),$J$3,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($I$4,C2)),$J$4,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($I$4,C2)),$J$4))))
But this list is getting way to big.
Is there a better way to create a lookup table which I can expand easier?
