    Searching matched keyword is not working here

    Greetings,

    I have a excel, column C contains a list of keywords, all rows in column A are to be checked with Column C and if A contains any keyword in C (column head as Keyword), Column B will be marked as True.

    What I used in B is: =SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(Keyword,A2)))>0

    Not working.

    Sample excel attached here for the convenience.

    Thank you very much.

    Select C1:C10 then on the formula tab click "Create from selection", check "Top row" if not already checked, OK.

    As per forum rules please do not "hijack" other peoples threads.
    You need to start a thread of your own, if you have not already done so.
