In ColumnA I have sentences wrapped and in columnB list of words

formula should lookup range of words in columnA and get 4 words including matched word.
for example.

Robert is honored in computer science and Robert earned GPA 3.6 and he has a bachelors degree (ColumnA)

3.5 (ColumnB Range)
3.6
3.7
4.9

Robert earned GPA 3.6 (ColumnC result)

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)

Hi Aladin,

I want to find "3.6" in columnA, if found, the formula should get "Robert earned GPA" from ColumnA along with "3.6" in preceding ColumnC.(row1)

Hope you understand now.
