Hello!
Thanks you for providing these formulas (https://www.myonlinetraininghu.....t-of-words)!! Unfortunately, I can't get them to work 🙁 .  I downloaded the example file provided on your site and tried each formula provided with no luck and not sure what I am doing wrong.  Could you please take a look at my attached file and let me know what I am doing wrong?

Column J is where I placed the code you provided. Column "X" is where I have the "List". Column D is the column I want to search for the words in the list 

Thanks in advance for all your help!!

Change the named range "List" to be X2:X10. I.e. do NOT include empty cells and it shall work. Wrap the formula in IFERROR if want to avoid the #NUM! error.

Hello Riny,
Thanks for your reply.  I tried doing that and it didn't work so not sure what I am missing??  Could you please adjust the spreadsheet and send it back so I can see what you are doing to make it work?  BTW, you'll want to look at the sheet labeled "June" for where I placed the code.

Thanks for all your help Riny!!
