Hi there,
I'm trying to have column A here look at the row in column B and do a partial text match based with column D to return the value column E. The database that column B comes from has asterisks as true characters in some names. If columns B and D were flipped, I know how to do a partial text match with xlookup, but I'm stuck in this case when the partial match comes in the lookup array. Any advice much appreciated!

Thanks for the clarification.

Is there any way that we can modify to cover multiple rows and columns in LOOKUP formula?
