I want to compare two rows in Excel for a particular word and return the entire content found in that cell where the word is present in the new rows.
So i am searching with the word nike in the two rows, the formula should search both the rows for the word nike and if found return the entire content found along with the word nike in the new rows else return NULL.
Row A and B are my inputs, output should look like row C and D
Please refer the attachment for more information.

No rules change peter i want to be cautious this time as these use cases are coming soon. I don't want to bother you for the same thing again and again that's why being proactive while you are already working on that. As i type this i get one such request

Thanks. Your profile lists 4 versions of Excel. Which one(s) does the formula have to work in? It may be that there are 'better' solutions that work in the later versions.

Why isn't the expected result in C10 and D10 "NULL" since "_nike" does not appear in A10 or B10?
