VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Hi,

If you're actually using the FIND or SEARCH function (FIND is case sensitive while SEARCH is Not) in your extraction formula, you wouldn't need any wildcard(s), just "Class" will do.

Perhaps if you show a few samples of your data, with all possible scenarios, we can assist further.
