I'm looking for a formula that can do the following:
Extract Revision or Change #'s from Column D and search for those numbers or letters at the very end of the text string in Column B. Since the text in Column D has been entered inconsistently I'm guessing there needs to be a way to remove the text strings "Rev" and "CHG" and any punctuation found. The remaining characters should hopefully be the Rev or Change Letter or Number.

Then, I would like to search for that letter or number as the last 1 or 2 characters in the text string in Column B to see if it has been added to the Description Text String in Column B. For a variety of reasons, we need the Revision / Change letter / number to also be at the tail end of the Description.

The idea would be to display something like "Not Found" when the Rev of Chg #/letter is not found at the end of the description.

A bonus ability might be to display something like "NA" if the part # in the same row in Column A contains a "_" anywhere in the text string or if the text string TLG exists in the same row in Column A

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Is "CHG 00" the same as "CHG 0" ?
Yes, unfortunately. When we report what we have shipped to our customer we report all change codes through EDI as 2 digit codes. So, technically, all "0" should be"00" and "1" should be "01", but for now I would be happy just getting a comparison between the two fields.

Thank you for working on this. Its very close, I think. For the first formula I updated the column from B to A.

The second formula that compares D to B works. I would probably just add putting "N/A" in column E if Column D is blank.

Now that I have seen the results of data filtered with your formula I can see that I may need another side to the second formula that tells me when a CHG or REV is found in Column B but isn't in Column D
