    Fuzzy Vlookup Help (Can't get longer strings to match simplified lookup)

    Hello,

    I'm trying to make a budget document that grabs expenses from my bank and transfers them to a specific category. I've attached a screen shot of what I'm looking for, but I have these raw expense names (i.e. Microsoft*Xbox) and want to transfer it to a lookup (i.e. Xbox = Electronics). I tried doing a fuzzy vlookup, but didn't work. Would love some help!
