Hii friends,

Good Afternoon...

I have some set of words in excel which i need to search in a sentence. If i find any words of the set in the sentence, then it should be returned.

Eg:
Sentence:
I am poor developer
I am great developer
you may be best developer

Lookup(Set of key words):
great
poor
best

Expected o/p:

I am poor developer poor
I am great developer great
you may be best developer best

Can anyone help me out to find a solution for this problem.?




Thanks in Advance
Sindhu
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
With sentences in A2:A4, and keywords in A7:A9, try this macro. Adjust ranges as needed.

Code:
Option Explicit
Sub Sindhu()
Dim i As Integer
Dim r As Range
Dim v

v = Application.Transpose(Range("A7:A9"))

For i = LBound(v) To UBound(v)
    With ActiveSheet.Range("A2:A4")

        On Error Resume Next
        Set r = .Find(What:=v(i), After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, _
                      SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)
        On Error GoTo 0

        If Not r Is Nothing Then
            r = r.Value & " " & v(i)
        End If

        Set r = Nothing

    End With
Next i

End Sub


HTH!
