    keyword search

    I have a column with a keyword at each row. Now I want to check, row for row, if any of these keywords occurs in another column.

    Ex:
    Keywords
    test
    alpha

    Column A | Column B
    Row tow bow | FALSE
    Pest test best | TRUE
    Alpha beta gamma | TRUE
    xor or and | FALSE

    Thanks in advance!

    I would use the find function

    Try using the "FIND" function. It allows you to find text within a cell with text.

    If the text is not found it returns a #Value.

    Then use the "ISERR" function to determine if you have a match.

    You may need to use more than one column to get the result you want.

    Hope this helps.

    FIND is to weak

    The problem is that FIND only uses one word of my keywords as a reference. I want i to go through all my keywords that are listed at once without having to use a column per keyword.
