    Simply forumla required - Replace text if another cell's content is present

    Hi all,

    I have a formula that I need creating and I would greatly appreciate some help.

    I have two columns with the following data (this is a simplistic version):

    abu dhabi transfers abu dhabi
    transfers tirana tirana
    transfers to vienna vienna
    transfers mandraki mandraki
    kos transfers kos
    kos port transfer kos port


    What I need is a formula that Puts a + sign immediately before the words in A1 that are in B1 (for example). So what I end up with is:

    +abu +dhabi transfers abu dhabi
    transfers +tirana tirana
    transfers to +vienna vienna
    transfers +mandraki mandraki
    +kos transfers kos
    +kos +port transfer kos port

    I would really appreciate some help and thanks and rep will be added.

    Thanks,

    Ryan.

    Sorry for the formatting...

    Before:

    Column A = abu dhabi transfers
    Column B = abu dhabi

    After

    Column A = +abu +dhabi transfers
    Column B = abu dhabi
