If the list of strings in column D was to increase to a large number e.g. 15, how would you tell excell to select the range of strings, so that you don't have to select each string "SEARCH($D$3" in the search parameter, as it seems is the case at the moment?
Interesting question! I will look into this as soon as possible. Thanks for commenting!
See this blog post: Search for multiple text strings in multiple cells in excel, part 2
Jerome, see this blog post: https://www.get-digital-help.com/search-and-display-all-cells-that-contain-all-search-strings-in-excel/
can you please modify the function (f2:f11) to display the text strings in CELL G.. disregard the ROW NUMBER Display thnx
the function will be in data validation.. and it will display 2 outputs in the list
PIPO,
I have now updated this blog post. The array formula is now easier to work with. Only copy the formula to your worksheet and create the named ranges.
Thanks for bringing this post to my attention.
Oscar,
Thank you sir, but if i put the array formula directly in the data validation list.. it only display "BFA" in the list.. i don't want to create a name range for the search result to display in data validation... thanks again in advance
PIPO,
I don´t know how to use an array formula in a data validation list. It seems to only "accept" a range of values.
Very interesting question, maybe someone else has an answer?
But I managed to create a "custom" data validation, see this post: https://www.get-digital-help.com/search-for-multiple-text-strings-in-multiple-cells-and-use-in-data-validation-in-excel/
Oscar,
Thanks you, it's a very helpful website. Would you able to search for those text strings (Search_Strings) contained in each cell then show? (cell contained both D2:D3 then show). Thanks,
James, can you explain in greater detail? I don´t understand.
Oscar, how can I use the Text_col on a different sheet in the same worksheet?
Text_col is a named range. Select a new range on a different sheet.
Oscar,
Rather than display the values could you collate them as part of a sum?
I have a a sheet that i could use a little help with, is thee any chance you could give me some advise?
Thanks
Daniel.

I have used the winning solution for my cause and it helped me a lot and saved a lot of very valuable time!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your kind help.

LOOKUP(2^15,SEARCH(D$2:D$10,A2),E$2:E$10)
Anyone explain this formula step by step..because i don't understand the function of the formula....
I totally agree with Ahmed.
I ma intrigued by the formula that won. I totally get the "lookup" and the "search" portions of it but I do NOT understand the "2^15". What function is this performing? How does this work? I can't even find anything online that resembles it (other than in its simplest form of "2 to the 15th power").
Can you offer some insight???
Hi,
My table array has wildcards that is of the format "ABCD****" or sometimes "ABCDE***" or sometimes "ABCDEF**". The main sheet contains that data of the format "ABCDEFGH" and needs to fetch an account from another cell in Sheet2(that contains the array).
Kindly help with handling this case.
Thanks,
CK.

Search for a text string and return multiple adjacent values
Oscar ,
Thank you, it's a very helpful website . I need your help in excel search . I have two Columns Cola with more than 10,000 records and Column B with 500 records. I need to show all the rows of Column A which contains case sensitive match of any records from column B.
is this possible? I have multiple terminal IDs and need to convert them into a location. This is just the beginning of the 'if' statement with 2 of the beginning ID numbers. I am using a table.
=IF(A25="@ ATM Deposit 0087*",VLOOKUP("@ ATM Deposit 0087*",$A4:$B18,2,FALSE),IF(A25="@ ATM Deposit 0487*",VLOOKUP("@ ATM Deposit 0487*",$A4:$B18,2,FALSE)))
Hopefully you can help me!! I'm using this formula with no issues: =+IF(C24="","",IFERROR(INDEX('Edited Data'!$P$2:$P$300,SMALL(IF(C24='Edited Data'!$N$2:$N$300,ROW('Edited Data'!$N$2:$N$300)-ROW('Edited Data'!$N$2)+1),COLUMN('Edited Data'!$A$1))),""))
Basically, C24 is a name, and it's looking for that name in N2:N300 on a tab called Edited Data. It works perfectly, but instead of looking for the name, I want it to look for the name as a wild card. 99% of the time it works, but sometimes the name is apart of a string of text and that formula doesn't pick it up. I'm OK with having it done manually if necessary, but if I can have it look for *C24* instead of C24, that would be amazing!!
I used the Alternative formula. When I copy down the formula, it's giving me error: #NUM!
Hi Oscar,
Tks for the "Return multiple matches with wildcard vlookup in excel" formula " =LOOKUP(2^15,SEARCH(D$2:D$10,A2),E$2:E$10)" whick worked 100% for me. Is it possible to get it to an exact match? eg If I use Brown as the keyword to lookup then it would find brown and brownish, etc?
Tks!
what if I had to print the adjacent column value, consider B is the named range(Text_col), but I want the value in column A, how should I tweak the code?
2 things.
1. Your explanation references COUNTIF, but the actual formula uses ISNUMBER(SEARCH(...)). I can only assume this is because COUNTIF doesn't appear to maintain array awareness the way it is depicted in the explanation.
2. I did find this useful in addressing a related problem I was having, so I thought I would share back. The following formula will return the same results as in columns C in the attached workbook, but without requiring that the formula be entered in array mode.
=IFERROR(INDEX($G$2:$G$12,SMALL(IF(N(IF({1},INDEX(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($F$2:$F$12,$A2)),,1))),N(IF({1},INDEX(ROW($G$2:$G$12)-1,,1))),""),1)),"")
To get the second result (column D), one would change the last 1 in the formula to a 2.
Clearly this could be set to a cell reference to facilitate getting multiple results, or returning an arbitrary result.
I've wrapped it in an IFERROR function to avoid the NUM! errors, though this is not required.
What is required is that this be done in an Excel 2007 or newer file format (.xlsx), otherwise Excel will refuse to accept the formula.
I tend to avoid using array mode formulas because I find the strictures of array mode formulas interfere with my preferred method of presentation. An even simpler version is likely possible in the newest versions of Excel (2019, or the latest 365 version), but alas I do not have access to them.
If it helps you, cheers.
Very interesting, how would you modify the formula (Partial match for multiple strings - AND logic - returns all matches (Excel 365)) to also exclude criteria?
example search b and f exclude a, c and e thus returning here only FDB?
