Im totally new to vlookup and excel function..
Supposedly I have a spreadsheet like the one below, is it possible to check a certain string and return the value of all strings in that cell?
Let's say for example I want to search for all units/laptops that has "8GB" RAM and would return the display like these:

HP ProBook 450 G6 6FE36UT#ABA Laptop/i5-8265U/8GB/4TB 2.5 SATA SSD/15.6" Flat HD (1366x768)/Intel UHD 620/Windows 10 Pro
HP ProBook 450 G6 6FE36UT#ABA Laptop/i5-8265U/8GB/1TB 2.5 SATA SSD/15.6" Flat HD (1366x768)/Intel UHD 620/Windows 10 Pro
HP ProBook 450 G6 6FE36UT#ABA Laptop/i5-8265U/8GB/2TB 2.5 SATA SSD/15.6" Flat HD (1366x768)/Intel UHD 620/Windows 10 Pro
etc..

Please teach me how to do this..

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
What exactly I would want is to return a value of all product or laptop description that has the same RAM memory for this instance i used 8GB as an example..
So all laptops with 8GB RAM memory in the spreadsheet would be displayed.. :(
But that doesn't specifically answer the question below. Remember that you are familiar with your data and we are not.
- I could interpret the line below as having 16GB or 512 GB, or
- I could interpret as meaning everything from 16GB up to 512GB, including, say, 64GB, or
- It could mean something else altogether.
I am just trying to clarify.

To help clarify, what does this row tell us about the memory available?

HP ProBook 450 G6 6FE36UT#ABALaptop/i5-8265U/16GB/512GB M.2 PCIe SSD + 1TB 2.5 HDD/15.6" Flat HD (1366x768)/Intel UHD 620/Windows 10 Pro

WOW! :eek: it works!!
:unsure: Are you sure?

For example, that code returns this (to me incorrect) line when I enter 8 in the input box.

HP ProBook 450 G6 6FE36UT#ABALaptop/i5-8265U/32GB/128GB M.2 PCIe SSD + 2TB 2.5 HDD/15.6" Flat HD (1366x768)/Intel UHD 620/Windows 10 Pro
