Hi,
I am trying to capture a partial text string from an Excel match.
RawData tab = data source
Calc tab = Where I am calculating the data. I am doing a vlookup with a match to find the specific cell but all I want to pull is Low, Medium, High text strings. Whereas today, each rating has a prefix text string. See column E for the desired outcome I am trying to achieve.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
One way, in B2, copied across and down:
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(1000,SEARCH({"High","Medium","Low"},VLOOKUP($A2,RawData!$A:$ZZ,MATCH(B$1,RawData!$2:$2,0),0)),{"High","Medium","Low"}),"")

Awesome, that worked!
What does the 1000 do or used for? I stretched it down beyond row 1000 and it seems to still work.
Well, nothing... sort of. It's an arbitrary large number...larger than the string length in any cell. When it finds any of the keyords... and doesn't find the 100th character, it gives up and returns the keyword.
You're welcome.
