Hello,

I'm trying to tweak the usual index match formula with multiple criteria to allow one criterion to be: if the cell contains.
Normal: =INDEX(LOOKUPARRAY,MATCH(VALUE1&VALUE2,LOOKUPCOLUMN1&LOOKUPCOLUMN2,0),1)
What I'm trying to do, but this doesn't work: =INDEX(LOOKUPARRAY,MATCH(VALUE1&("*"&VALUE2*"*"),LOOKUPCOLUMN1&LOOKUPCOLUMN2,0),1)

This might be clearer in an example spreadsheet.

What I want is to return the value from the cell in column A, if column B = Updated Response and column C contains "phq9_"

Solution
=INDEX($A$1:$A$8,AGGREGATE(14,6,ROW($A$1:$A$8)/--(--($B$1:$B$8="Updated Response")*IFERROR(SEARCH("phq9_",$C$1:$C$8),0)>0),ROW($A1)))
