    Match and align cells

    Hi,

    I'm facing a problem which wastes a lot of time for me and I hope someone can help me.

    I have data in columns A and B. Cells in column B contains values like in column A, but each cell has few more letters. For example, value in column A is 1234, value in column B is w1234xy. So code is there, however, covered in additional letters.

    Is there a way to find cells in column B, that has values like in column A, even though they are between letters, and align matching cells?

    Many thanks!

    Hi kolbkaro and welcome to the forum,

    You can try this formula in C2

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP("*"&A2&"*",B:B,1,0),"Not Found")
