    Can you post a SMALL sample file and show us what result you expect?

    A SMALL file will have about 20 rows worth of data.

    I downloaded your file but I'm totally confused!

    On the Import sheet you have:

    Data Range
    F
    1
    category
    2
    rozrywka
    3
    dzieci
    4
    dzieci
    5
    rozrywka
    6
    rozrywka
    7
    rozrywka
    8
    rozrywka


    I am assume those are your expected results?

    However, on the Words sheet you have:

    Data Range
    A
    B
    C
    1
    Food
    Car
    Home
    2
    wallmart
    gas station
    ikea
    3
    food&home
    parts
    jysk
    4
    cash&carry
    car wash
    5
    mechanic


    I don't see any relationship between the expected results and the word lists.
