I need to match product filenames (column C) to SKUs (column D) and return the adjacent product name (column E).

Example: The formula should "match" product-redsocks1-small (C2) with redsocks1 (D4) and return adjacent cell value Red Socks (E4).

I'm trying to get the formula to match photo file names in column C with the matching product name (for the photo/file) in column E.

Example table attached.

Hi

You can refer here for examples on how to get the Product SKU.

https://www.myonlinetraininghu.....t-of-words

=INDEX($D$2:$D$4,SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($D$2:$D$4,C2))*ROW($1:$3)))

You can then use a VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH to get the Product Name.

Good luck

Sunny
