Hi guys,

I need an index match able to read inside a text. This is the issue.

I have these data:

And I have this table:

I need a formula index match in order to read the first table and put the data in the second. In this way:

The data are working in this way: The first number in sub should give back the amount, starting from the second sub, all the other number should give back sold.

Ps: This is a simplified version, in the original one you have also empty subs, so this cannot be solved with a formula index match <>"" so index match or something similar.

Thank you guys,
I hope it is clear.
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
What you want to do with the empty subs?

Try this, formula putted in F:

=IFERROR(IF(INDEX(B:B,MATCH(D2&" Sub "&E2&"*",A:A,0))=0,"Sold",INDEX(B:B,MATCH(D2&" Sub "&E2&"*",A:A,0))),"Sold")

Dear Mehidy,
No, it is not working. It is not working because the result is always Sold even if there isn't the sub.
If you have for example Roma Sub 1-2 , so two subs not in the list, the result with the formula is sold sold
You are on the issue. But the solution is not correct.
