Hello,

I am looking for a formula that will do the following.
I have a column (let's call it column B) that has a list of businesses separated by semicolons. I want to look at every single one of these businesses within the cell and check to see if it is either in column C or D (Primary Business or Secondary Business) of that row. If the business is found in either columns C or D, then say YES. But if there are any businesses missing, then say NO and notate which business is missing. Also, the other way around. Is the Primary and Secondary Businesses listed in the Grouped Businesses. If Yes, then say Yes. If not, then say Yes, but {name of business} is not in Grouped Businesses.
See sample below.

Is it possible to have a formula get the results shown in Column E?

Thank you
 
I've actually noticed it for data in Column C only. So what I need is that if column C shows blank or "Multi Business" just ignore those.

OperationsMulti O&T BusinessesNo, Missing Operations |
Technology; Compliance; Operations; AMLComplianceNo, Missing Operations, Technology, Operations, and AML |

I'm looking at the data now and I think I actually may need to split this up into two different columns instead. I think the above results may confuse people.
It will be same the idea so I will keep this post and just add another reply with new requirements.
