Excel VBA to extract 2 or 3 keywords left and right from cell content

[satish78]

Hi Friends,


Trying to extract 2 or 3 keywords from cell content through excel vba.
Sheet1 ColumnA has rows with content sample file attached.
I need vba to search for keywords from sheet2 ColumnA in Sheet1 and extract 2 or 3 or 4 keywords from each row content into sheet3.(Popup box would be better to enter number of keywords to extrat each time when I run the macro)


sheet2 contacts keywords with space on right and left.
Please take a look in sample file attached.

Hello Satish,

What would the output on Sheet3 look like? You did not include examples in your workbook.

Hello Satish,

Thanks for the updated workbook. I see that each column on Sheet3 is used for a single keyword match from Sheet2.

Do you want all matches for a particular keyword in row listed or only the first match found?

Extracting a single word from the left of the keyword and to the right of it is easy. Ignoring punctuation and articles like (a, an, the) is not difficult. However matches like "Subject Matter Expert in logistics" become more difficult than simply "Expert in logistics". To handle matches like these would require an list of acceptable combinations of words used with "Expert" or their abbreviations like "SME in Logistics".

I want all matches extracted.
Expert in logistics would be fine. Because the word Expert it self defines Expect in logistics.
