Hello, is there a way to extract the entire cell content in the same row if the first word of the next cell is beginning with the word "car"?
Thanks in advance for your help :)

Hi Peter_SSs Fantastic that is what I needed,
Glad it helped.

It depends. If the new question is an extension of this one or is closely related, you can continue here. If it is a completely different question, start a new thread.


You should also investigate section B of the Forum Use Guidelines for posting sample data. Posting an image like you did doesn't encourage helpers as they cannot copy/paste to their own worksheets. You can't expect them to do a lot of typing to set up samples to test.
