Hi All,



I have a little bit of a tricky situation. I have two worksheets. Sheet1 contains a file name with claim numbers like below:

I would like to know if there are any formulas out there in which I can look for the Claim number is Sheet2 in Sheet1 and it gives me back all the file names that contain that claim number. For example, Claim AAAA from Sheet2 is in 2 file names in Sheet1, so I would like it to return to me[TABLE="width: 490"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 490"]"AAAA File name with additional characters.doc" and [TABLE="width: 490"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 490"]"AAAA & EEEE File name with additional characters.pdf"[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


Please let me know if any additional information is needed.



Thanks!

in Sheet2,

B2=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7)),ROW(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7),""),COLUMN()-COLUMN($A$1))-1),"") press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

drag to the right then down

In B2 of Sheet2 control+shift+enter, not just enter, copy across, and down:

=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7)),ROW(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7)-ROW(Sheet1!$A$2)+1),COLUMNS($B2:B2))),"")

which should not be affected by adding rows in front of the header row of Sheet1.

Thank you for the above formula. Since I had more than the 7 claim file names I modified the formula a little bit:

=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$A,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($A2,Sheet1!$A:$A)),ROW(Sheet1!$A:$A),""),COLUMN()-COLUMN($A1))-1),"")

it brought back a file name, but it wasn't a file name with anything like the claim number at all. For example if the claim number is "01016075", it brought back "C4B25571 LLR.pdf" what could I be doing wrong?

Thank you

Thank you for the above formula. Since I had more than the 7 claim file names I modified the formula a little bit:

=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$A,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($A3,Sheet1!$A:$A)),ROW(Sheet1!$A:$A)-ROW(Sheet1!$A$2)+1),COLUMNS($B3:B3))),"")

it brought back a file name, but it wasn't a file name with anything like the claim number at all. For example if the claim number is "01016075", it brought back "C4B25571 LLR.pdf" what could I be doing wrong?

Where (in which cell) did you implement the suggested formula?

Thank you for the idea, I ended up having to put a +2 in the formula:

[TABLE="width: 64"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 64"]{=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$A, LARGE(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($A2,Sheet1!$A:$A)),ROW(Sheet1!$A:$A)-ROW(Sheet1!$A$2)+2),COLUMNS($B2:B2))),"")}

this worked for me.[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
