    Search a text for a array of values

    Hello,

    I have a array of values, i need to search a text if any of the array of values exist in it.

    I used below, it works fine but if there is a text like "1. Ship(R45100A)" and both R45100 & R45100A exist in array, it shows result as R45100. but expectation is to get R45100A

    =INDEX(Objects!A:A,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(Objects!A$2:A$50)/(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(Objects!A$2:A$50,A2))),1))

    OR is there a way to get the count of values in array found in text?

    PFA data, please let me know if any thoughts

    Thanks
    Amith

    Re: Search a text for a array of values

    How about
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =INDEX(Objects!A:A,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(Objects!A$2:A$50)/(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(Objects!A$2:A$50&")",A2))),1))

    Thank you for your response, it is working great. but we cannot relay on ")" as it may sometimes does not exist in text.
    any other option? OR is there a way to get count of values in array found in text?

    In that case please upload a file with more realistic data.

    =IFERROR(INDEX(Objects!A:A,MOD(AGGREGATE(14,6,(ROW(Objects!A$2:A$50)+LEN(Objects!A$2:A$50)*10^4)/((Objects!A$2:A$50<>"")*ISNUMBER(SEARCH(Objects!A$2:A$50,A2))),1),10^4)),"")
