I have 2 tables. Table 1 is A1:A17 and table 2 is D1:F37 (both tables will get longer at somepoint).

What I'd like to do is create a formula in cell G2 that will look at the contents of cell D2 (Table 2), then look down Table 1 and if it finds any part of the text from cell D2 in any of the cells in Table 1, copy the Table 1 cell that matches in to G2. I then need the formula to keep going down column G doing this for all the data.

The contents of the cells in column D could have the phrase in any part of the cells in column A.

Can anyone help?

MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
