Hello team,
Is it possible in Excel to search exact word (Single or multiple word with no case sensitive scenario) from summary text available in cell A2 using key point provided in cell B2 and extract the result in cell C2. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, probably.
There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.
A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

I'll work on this as the data in post #3 can be copied and pasted into an Excel worksheet without modification.
The following works for all but the 5th result, which appears to have a different rational from the others:Formula:

New column is just to let you know in which row changes are made.
Where does the previously supplied formula NOT work?
Yes, it did workhowever to just make it more searchable I have updated raw data so in case we have few spell error or space error even then formula can search them.
Thanks for asking and helping me.
This works for the spacing errors shown in post #5, however it doesn't help with the spelling error:Formula:Please Login or Register to view this content.
I have heard of something called 'fuzzy lookup' which might help, however I have never used it, so I can't say with any certainty.
Note that I am letting the formula return a #Value error if the 'value_if_error' fails so that you can filter column C and find instances of spelling errors.
Let us know if you have any questions.
