I'm creating a spreadsheet to detail the fire door ratings based on the fire strategy and a physical survey. A straight forward exercise where the door is not fire rated (NFR), fire rated for 30/60 minutes (FD30/FD60) or fire rated for 30/60 minutes with a smoke seal (FD30S/FD60S). I want to compare the so that if the survey showed that it had a equal or better fire rating than the strategy it would show "Yes" and it was worse then a "No" was returned, as shown below:



This was done using the following formula:

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(AA9,AB9)),"Yes","No")

All is as I was hoping for except for on row 6 the strategy says "NFR" and the survey confirmed an "FD30S" rated door which is better than a non-fire rated door but still returns "No" It is the same story further down the sheet where it needs to be an "FD30" but is actually an "FD60S" which is better and I want it to return "Yes" shown below:



Can anyone help with a formula that can achieve what I want?

Thanks in advance!
