function/formula like Ctrl+F -> find all in one cell?

[ogustuce]

hi, i've done hours of ressearch and i can't find what im looking for. I've seen stuff like Vlookup, Index, etc. they all don't work because you need to have the same keyword repeated in your list which i do not have.

What i need to do is search for a keyword and write all the results in a single cell.

Logic:
keyword "*apple*"

list:
applez
apples
brown
yellow
zapples
trapples

result of formula/function would be:
applez,apples,zapples,trapples


i dont mind VBA if its a function or a formula


thank you

Try this function

thank you very much sir!

 

[DanteAmor]

I'm glad to help you. Thanks for the feedback.

Try this function

sheet1

	A	B	C	D
1	keyword	Result		List
2	apple	applez, apples, zapples, trapples		applez
3				apples
4				brown
5				yellow
6				zapples
7				trapples

<colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; "><col style="width:76.04px;"><col style="width:207.21px;"><col style="width:76.04px;"><col style="width:76.04px;"></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

Cell Function B2 =find_all_in_one(A2,D2:D7) <tbody> </tbody>

<tbody>
</tbody>

Function find_all_in_one(cell As Range, list As Range)
    cad = ""
    For Each c In list
        If LCase(c.Value) Like "*" & LCase(cell.Value) & "*" Then cad = cad & ", " & c.Value
    Next
    If cad <> "" Then find_all_in_one = Mid(cad, 3) Else find_all_in_one = ""
End Function

this worked great, now can you please add a line that would take the value in the cell next to where it finds the result? i really like that your code isn't case sensitive in the search. all the other functions/formulas i find dont work even when i add "*"& &"*"

If I understood correctly do you want to put a mark in cells E2, E3, E6 and E7?

That is not possible, we would have to change from a function to a macro

well just like Vlookup do.

logic:

keyword: apple

A B
1 applez 34
2 Zapples 43
3 yellow 22
4 cow 33
5 Mapples 4
6 purple 5


then with your superb function: =find_all_in_one(apple,A:B)

result: 34, 43, 4
