    Find & Replace Formula for Locating Short Text within Larger Text

    I have an existing Cash Flow Report for my work that has a column of abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) titles where each cell contains unique three lettered/numbered characters (Example: 200). These three abbreviated character cells are specific and relate to their full/longer (SAP WBS Elements) titles (Example: WBS DWRRI-BW066-200).

    In my attached excel model (Find, Locate, and Align WBS Elements to Cash Flow Report.xlsx), I need a formula for the, “Cash Flow Report WBS Elements” sheet in cells B3 thru B11 that will look at the abbreviated three lettered/numbered (WBS Element) titles in cells C3 thru C11, then search and recognize its unique counterpart contained in the, “SAP WBS Elements Export” sheet and return this full/longer (SAP WBA Element) title to the, “Cash Flow Report WBS Elements” sheet in cells B3 thru B11, just to the left of its abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title.

    I hope someone can help me with this and please ask if you need additional information or added clarity.

    Thank You!

    Garrett
