I have 9 columns of data (columns A-I). Column B has a long string of model numbers clustered together (Cells C-I concatenate). Cells in columns C-I have individual model numbers. I am looking for a macro (or function) which can check for a partial match with column B in each cell of a given row for columns C-I and then return the part name (Column A) if there is a match. For example, model #11316 would return Armature- 120V, Brush Set, and Washer Set since it occurs in cells B5, B6, and B7.
Is this even possible since there is no identifiable pattern to my data? Thank you very much for any advice. Excel spreadsheet is attached.
