Excel: Trying to find if part of a cell is found in a list of cells -
i have list of different application names:
example small list:
- cps mainframe processor
- dd(distributor directory)
- deinstallation calendar
then pull reports weekly tool names these applications differently. example in first list dd (distributor directory) application name, can named distributor directory , dd hub other list reports pull.
so need function can tell if both names same testing parts of since never exact same name/order. has ever had before? please help.
have tried creating crosswalk type of reference table? alternative evaluations via code using case select, require more effort make changes or additions , other users may need support changes need basic understanding of vba.
for reference table, export valid values reference systems column (or multiples depending upon if need index source system, etc), have adjoining column show rolled value. stored centrally , referenced multiple people if distributing work.
example:
source value | report value
distributor directory | dd(distributor directory)
dd hub | dd(distributor directory)
you use basic match, index, or lookup functions in excel pull in report value specify in table
