    Unique Identifers in Names?

    How do I pull text that is common across the rows where:

    Account Name Unique Identifier
    Company ABC - helloworld - HQ - hi Company ABC
    Company ABC - byeworld Company ABC
    Whatnow - Space Whatnow
    Whatnow - Earth - HQ Whatnow

    What formula would work to retrieve the desired result in the 2nd column?

    It requires helper columns. Are you ready for this?

    For some reason, this won't let me attach. So I just am going to copy and paste the sheet here:

    Top-Level Account Name Account Name Helper Column A?? Helper Column B??
    Company ABC Company ABC - Byeworld
    Company ABC Company ABC - Helloworld
    Whatnow Whatnow - Space
    Whatnow Whatnow - Earth - HQ
    ABC Computer - New York - HQ
    ABC Computer - LA
    ABC Computer - Louiseville
    XYZ Champ - HQ
    XYZ Champ - KY
    XYZ Champ - Miami
    Lonely Inc
    Twins Corp - A
    Twins Corp - B
