In column A I have a list of all different words and name but the main issue is this - this appears in cell A113 but also there will be other names in this column - this is the name of a dog I am trying to replicate in another column (i.e. the bold text)
WILLIAM BALEBKW / D Jul-21 Allen Deed x Dyna Chill

I have it's name in column AR (i.e. AR13) - but the row should be irrelevant as long as it's within the range - i.e. rows 2:4250
WILLIAM BALE

So what I am trying to do is write a formula that says:
- if the text in column AR2:AR4250 can be found in columns A2:a4250 can it write that name in column X - therefore at X113 it would answer WILLIAM BALE

They are on completely different row so I need to cover rows 2:4250 and be able to drag the formula down row X from 2:4250

Hope that makes sense?

Like this? (I am assuming no more than one value from column C will appear in a single column A cell.)
