Can someone please help me identify a problem with an index function that I am using?
What I currently have seems to be working in reverse, with respect to making a partial/fuzzy string match.
The index function follows:
=INDEX($K$2:$K$12, SMALL(IF(COUNTIF($A2,"*"&$J$2:$J$12&"*"), ROW($J$1:$J$11), ""), COLUMN(A1)))
I have attached the excel file. If you could be kind enough to take a look and let me know how I might fix this I would be grateful.
What I need to do is make the input cell $A2 (above) able to accept partial text strings and match a full text string in column J.
In other words if cell A2=Apple and cell J2=Apple Computers Inc., the match would occur.
Then it will return all emails that are associated with Apple. (this part currently works as long as I use the exact string in column A)
-Thank you
