    How to Check if sub string value in cell match with other string from range of cells

    I am stuck with this one from hours.

    I have range with cells with string values:


    >A1 text1 xyz

    >A2 xyz text2 abc

    >A3 text3 mnc cod

    >A4 bbc text1 gog

    >An abc goc text3

    And other column with other string values like:

    >B1 text1sampletext

    >B2 text2sampletext

    >B3 text3sampletext

    >B4 text1sampletext

    >B5 text1sampletext

    I have to check if text in column A is sub string of text in column B. If it is, to set in column C the text from column A.

    Like this:

    >A1 text1 xyz >C1 text1sampletext

    >A2 xyz text2 abc >C2 text2sampletext

    >A3 text3 mnc cod >C3 text3sampletext

    >A4 bbc text1 gog >C4 text1sampletext

    >An abc goc text3 >C5 text3sampletext

    Thanks in advance
