    Match formula Full match vs. Partial

    Greetings,
    I am trying to create a match formula that ignores partial match. For instance:

    a1= to
    a2= to,go,no,so
    a3=top,gop,nop,sop

    a4=if (not(isvalue(find($a$1, a2), true, false) ---> true
    a5=if (not(isvalue(find($a$1, a3), true, false) ---> true

    I would like a5 to return false. I think it is possible I just cant see the tree for the forrest.
    Thanks!

    Thanks and thanks for the reply. So another possibilty would be that the cell only contained "to".
