    Extract all keywords from a cell based on a defined list

    Hello experts,

    I would need your help to write a formula to extract all the fruits in a cell, based on the list provided in a range.

    For example

    Input
    A1----> Box1 has apples, orange Peach and banana
    A2----> apple, jackfruit, in box2 along with banana and peach
    A3----> Box no.3 has 100 guava,124 strawberrys

    Desired Result
    B1---->apples,orange,peach,banana
    B2---->apple,jackfruit,banana,peach
    B3---->guava,strawberry

    The list of fruits to check is in the range N2:N10

    Apple
    Orange
    Jackfruit
    Guava
    Strawberry
    Lemon
    Gooseberry
    Peach
    Banana

    and i might add more fruits in to the list. Attached excel sheet to make it clear.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    One way with a UDF

    1. Remove the trailing space in Guava in the column N list.
    2. Create a range name "lst_fruits" defined as:

    3. Add the following UDF

    4. In H11 enter
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    and copy down.

    Just add new fruits to the list in column N
