Hello,

I'm using xlookup to categorise my transactions but I'm having troubles with finding keywords in a cell because there are many other words en numbers in it.

So it isn't an exact match, and that's the problem.

See the example....

 

Regars,

Alain

Hi Alain,

You can do this with a combination of INDEX, SUMPRODUCT and SEARCH.  There's a blog post on how it works here

Search a String for a List of Words in Excel

The attached file has this working formula in it.

Regards

Phil
