Hi All,

I need help with a formula please. I want find the matching word within a sentence (within one cell). 

For example:

From Column A (A4:A7) 'Ninja Electric Hob', I want to lookup the exact matching word (not partial match) 'Ninja' from Column C (C4:C7) and return the exact matching Title in Column E.

I've attached a screenshot from Excel

Thanks in advance

Zak

The best I could do was this one and that's based on 'partial match'

=unique(if(isblank(A4:A7),"",(IFERROR(VLOOKUP("*"&C4&"*",$A$4:$A7,1,FALSE),"")))) - used the formula for each cell

Issue here is, for vero keyword 'shark', it returns 'Baby play mat Sharkins' and pics the first one on the list

Please upload a workbook example instead of pictures so we dont have to waste time recreating the data that is already to hand

Found the formula through another forum:

=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/SEARCH(" "&C4&" "," "&A$4:A$7&" "),A$4:A$7),""))

Cheers
