I have a table with the column on the left. I want to scan the column A (Group Name) for key words like HDS or Network or ORCL, and if I find them, then paste them to the column B.How do I do this?
You can also use this following formula by creating a table in C & D columns like given below. Formula =LOOKUP(2^15,SEARCH(C1:C10,A2),D1:D10) where A2 is the cell contains Group Name "xxx-global-hds-xxx", just drag up to the end.
If you want to search more words like those three words you have provided, you can simply add those in the C:D table and expand the range (rows) in lookup formula.
