    Partial text lookup

    Hello everybody!

    For work I have to make some data analysis.
    We try to measure which color is most used every week.
    However, the data in column A can reach to 10.000 rows.
    In column B there are 300 colors available in our stock.
    In Column C is would like to see the color code of Column B where it is used in Column A.

    This simple formula did the trick.
    =LOOKUP(999;SEARCH($B$2:$B$185;A2;1);$B$2:$B$185)

    However, MANY thanks for the support!
