Hi everyone,

I'm looking to export my bank transaction statement into excel and want to create a list of snippets with categories so I can auto categorise some ofm y statements.

I thought maybe a vlookup as an array, but this didn't work {=IFERROR(VLOOKUP("*"&$K$1:$L$50&"*",$B$3:$B$500,2,FALSE),"")}

Any thoughts on what I could do?

Thanks!

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
The lookup value of vlookup can never be an array.

Your table array is only one column B3:B500 but you are trying to look into the second column.

If you post an example of your data then someone should be able to help with a formula.
