@shrivallabha - indeed it does! Thanks for passing this along! @Montrey - it definitely is. Invaluable formula.

Will do Sir, and again, I appreciate your help. I'll download that file soon, but now I should actually do some work! Thanks again!! Mark

@Sir I appreciate your help. It looks like the formula almost work but if you notice the first three columns did not produce a name in the yellow fields. I figure this is because the code it's trying to retrieve is the last thing in the cell and thus, not separated by a comma. @Narayan - This...

Answers: A) no it's not the entire list B) Name X - in row 3 it should produce CAV in Column B (the attributes column will only have one of the attributes listed in column I) C) When I was trying to use the original formula, it would see the RES code and insert RE (that could be my error though)

Sorry to jump in but I had a question on this too. This almost worked for me but what I run into when there are two similar names but I need it to treat them separately. In RMajare's example, what would happen if one cell had Hans but another cell had Hansel. Or Rob & Robert? Thanks!
