Formulas:
Number of mails(Works): =COUNTIF(Sheet1!C2:C14,"*"&A2&"*")
Email Time: =LOOKUP(2,1/(Sheet1!C2:C14="*"&A2&"*"),Sheet1!E2:E14)

If i delete all content from the mails and do an exact lookup, it works. As i have over 20000 rows of data, i cannot filter through this manually.

Any suggestions.
thanks.

You can't use wildcards like that. Try:

=LOOKUP(2,1/--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A2,Sheet1!C2:C14))),Sheet1!E2:E14)

which returns 2/18/2011 13:38.

=lookup(2^15,search(textstring,range),e2:e14)

Sorry on mobile - replace textsring with value to find and range with range eg b2:brf

Using the search function with the Isnumber didnt even cross my mind. Very good way of searching. Thanks alot.

I was using the wildcard operator as it seems to work with VLookup if returning the first value. Thanks again.:)

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the reply, this works too although i am not sure i understand it as much as i do the other formula. Can you let me know what the 2^15 actually does. I would like to know in case it comes in handy down the line.

On Richard's behalf, it's one more than the maximum number of characters in a cell (and therefore the maximum that SEARCH can return).
