    Find the sub string in column and copy the cell next to the substring

    Hello Experts,
    I'm not an expert with VBA, so kindly help with the issue i have.

    Consider i have a table,
    ColumnA--ColumnB--ColumnC -- ColumnD
    Orange -- fruit -- Vegetable -- blank
    Pineapple --juice -- OrangeJuice --blank

    I need to search for 'orange' substring in columnC until the end of the columnC and if found copy the cell next to orange i.e columnB.1 (fruit) to ColumnD.1 else copy 'Not Available'.

    I tried with excel formula but works only for one cell.
    =IF( (LEN(A2) <=LEN(C2)), IF( (MID(A2,1,LEN(A2)) = MID(C2,1,LEN(A2)) ),B2))
    Thanks in advance,

    Regards,
    Shrujan

    Maybe

    =IF(Isnumber(Search("Orange",C2)),B2,"")
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
