Hi all, I'm attaching the find value excel. I need to find in B2 if it contains any value from column A and if doesn't content mark Approved in a green cell in C2, if content exists place the word found. Thanks!
Try this for starters:
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(99999,SEARCH($A$2:$A$7,B2),$A$2:$A$7),"Approved")

Thanks, 2 things. Can we make it to find at least one word from column A? For example, C8 should be satellite as a result. It was my bad to not comment all the requirements. Also, when approved can be marked in green and if not yellow? Thanks!!!
Foir the colour-coding, you simply need to apply a conditional formatting rule to that column:
Yellow: =AND(C2<>"",C2<>"Approved")
Green: =AND(C2<>"",C2="Approved")
Why can you not include satellite on its own in the lookup list? After all, you have gun and stun gun separately:

If you ALSO want satellite to be returned, (as per cell C8), you need to add satellite to the keyword list and sort the keyword list alphabetically and then useAli's formula, with the range adjusted appropriately:
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(99999,SEARCH($A$2:$A$8,B2),$A$2:$A$8),"Approved")

Thank you both! So the first formula is for the exact match and the second is for any word? Also, how to do I the condition for the color?
See post #4 - everything is there.
Thanks! We are almost there. Please find attached update, C16 is not showing the correct output. Thanks for the help.
That's because you need 'stun' in your lookup list:

It is, in C6, there is a way it can take it from there (2 words)?
No - we explained this to you over the course of posts #4 and #5 above.
Thank you, will test then as is!
Please mark as solved, etc. as per post #9. Thanks.
Hi, question, please see attached result for c18, it should be exact match. Can you check please and help if possible? It is taking value from c8 but it is not right...
