Sheet1



I am looking to extract non-delimited values from a cell.

In my attached test data

Column A is the product code
Column D is the non-delimited product codes in customer orders
Column I through L+ is how I would like the data extraced and displayed.

Out system exports order data showing all ordered products in the same cell with no delimiter.

I am hoping to find a way to search in Column A for a value and if found in Column D it should add that value to a new adjacent cell, for each matched value.

Regards

What version of Excel are you using?

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)
