I have a crazy lookup to do and am not sure where to start.
Actually rewriting one of the sheets would be favourite but not practical.

In essence, I need to do a match and index, but the match is on a substring, which is where my problems start.


I have 2 sheets
  1. Order Tracker
  2. Stockboard
I want to lookup a sub-string in the stockboard and return the Order
so in the example below
258722 (in the tracker sheet) is looked up in the stockboard and found in E6 (2587224008) and 237 is returned

Is this possible?
