    to find specifc text/wor in filename and text string and bring back the specifc text/word

    Hi all,

    I need some help in trying to find specific text and words in a textstring which could be in two different columns and to bring back the word in a column in the same row?

    For example in one row i would like it to bring back "VGE" from column Filename2 and for the next example to bring back "dch_gdsp_t" in column Filename2?

    But the text and words I am looking for could be these plus more.

    This is a function I have to do every day so the forumula would be a great help and time for me to do some other work ;-)

    Also, there are not always symbols such as _ etc in the filename.

    I really hope that somebody can help ;-)

    Hi

    What is the full list of strings you want to search?
    Why have you only brought back some of the items that match the string?
