    Scoring System Sum

    I want to create a sum that returns a score if a certain word appears, ie if cell says High Street then score is 40 but there could be multiple answers. I have attached some test data that should explain.

    if anybody could help it would be appreciated

    Re: Scoring System Sum

    Stand Alone Forecourt Parade  High Street
    are the only entries with scores

    Is your sample all the possible entries you may have

    Parade will it always be "parade of shops" if so it may be easier to include that in the table and just use a simple lookup

    in the table parade has a space at the end "parade "
    is this a typo addition or will that be the case in other entries

    if you can change K2 to "parade of shops"
    then this simple lookup would work

    =INDEX($I$1:$L$1,MATCH(B2,$I$2:$L$2,0))

    But I suspect there are a lot more entries and combinations needed

    strange i cannot add a spreadsheet ......
    i will post this and then try again with an EDIT

    EDIT
    managed to get it to work after restarting chrome

    Re: Scoring System Sum

    To deal with partial matches, like In Big Shops Parade of Stores, City Center Parade of Shops and so on you may use:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    But Parade in K2 cannot end with non breaking space (character 160). So it cannot be
    "Parade "
    but
    "Parade" <- I'd opt for this way

    or
    "Parade "
    but with a standard space at the end
