Good evening,
i've been struggling to find a solution to this, but no solution so far :|
Is there a chance I can use Excel 365 formula to find a value in multiple dynamic arrays, and return the array name?
Something like this :

dARR1: one, two , three
dARR2: two, three, five, eight, dARR1
dARR3: two, six, dARR2
dARR4: eight, nine, three, one, two, dARR3
dARR5: two, five, one, six

result:
six: belongs to dARR3, dARR4, dARR5

Thank you,
 
Based on your example with names does this help??

Thank you so much AhoyNC.
I never used the new REGEX functions but good to see them at work. I guess I need the djclements's work for flatening the nested groups.
Thank you once again
