    Create formula that takes a portion of text and searches another worksheet for item

    Hey guys! Need help...I'm close but my formula still need some tweaking.

    I am trying to take some data (item description - comprises of numbers and text) from a column in one worksheet and look against another item description column in another worksheet and return corresponding item number.

    Here is the formulas I've come up with below:
    IFERROR(SEARCH("I92",ITEM_MASTER_EXTRACT_072213!B:B,1),INDEX(ITEM_MASTER_EXTRACT_072213!A:A,MATCH(PURCH_HIST_ALBLIVSAL_EXP_072213!A:A&"*",ITEM_MASTER_EXTRACT_072213!B:B,0),ITEM_MASTER_EXTRACT_072213!A:A&"*"),"NOT FOUND")


    =IFERROR(CONTAINS(I92&"*",ITEM_MASTER_EXTRACT_072213!B:B,1)*INDEX(ITEM_MASTER_EXTRACT_072213!A:A,MATCH(PURCH_HIST_ALBLIVSAL_EXP_072213!A:A&"*",ITEM_MASTER_EXTRACT_072213!B:B,0),ITEM_MASTER_EXTRACT_072213!A92),"NOT FOUND")

    I have attached a sample file for further review...

    I'm sorry, but I am unable to find the attached document. Can you please attach it again?

    Here's my first stab at it without an example
