Problem:
Trying to run an index match_partial match on a long column of values to return the desired result but have been getting an #NA. Current formula without changes: =INDEX(level,MATCH("*"&J3,title,0))
So I'm trying to match these values to return "Middle Management" for values that contain "Director"
title return column
Assistant Director
Associate Director
Account Director
Account Specialist
Facilitator
...etc.
Lookup Array
title level
Director Middle Management
Coordinator Entry Level
Manager Intermediate
...etc ....etc
It seems the formula with wildcard value/concatenate will only work when the values in the Lookup Table are shorter than the lookup value.
I can't remove the text in the beginning to search because the number of characters differ for each lookup value. (i.e. =INDEX(level,MATCH(RIGHT(J2,LEN(J2)-9),title,0))
Anybody has a better, more accurate solution? Thank you in advance!
