Hi
Appreciate help with a excell funcion or formula (like SEARCH , FIND) where if particular texts (multiple texts) are fould in a cell then copy the value in a adjacent coloumn to a new coloumn.
I have attached a sample excel file giving more details about the issue and have manually worked out the desired result
Thank you in advance

I don't think that's quite what the OP wants.
In D3 copied down:
=IF(SUM(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"ab";"be"},B3))),C3,"")
and in E3 copied down:
=IF(SUM(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"vu";"gi"},B3))),C3,"")

An alternative means with power query
Power Query is a free AddIn for Excel 2010 and 2013, and is built-in functionality from Excel 2016 onwards (where it is referred to as "Get & Transform Data").Please Login or Register to view this content.
It is a powerful yet simple way of getting, changing and using data from a broad variety of sources, creating steps which may be easily repeated and refreshed. I strongly recommend learning how to use Power Query - it's among the most powerful functionalities of Excel.
