    Vlookup

    Can I use Vlookup to find the contents of one cell in an array?
    I have column A of partial serial numbers and I'm trying to find the matching serial number in column D. If possible I'd like to plug the match from column D into column B.

    78NLM39 1S26474MU78FRMNN
    78VFPN5 1S26474AU78FMBCB

    I've attached a sample file.

    thanks for any help you can offer.

    =VLOOKUP("*"&A2&"*",$D$2:$D$38,1,FALSE)
