Hello,

I would like to perform a VLOOKUP with the data from column A of this sheet in the data from the base sheet and retrieve the value contained in the cell.

In other words, if I find the word in my base, I want to retrieve the value of the entire cell where the word is located.

Attached, you have the file containing the data
-sheet "base" == >My search database
-sheet "rech" ==> the text to search for and an example of the expected result.

Thank you in advance for your help!!

Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 8.0

    Good evening, friend senecartour

    Try this formula:
    =VLOOKUP("*"&A1&"*",base!A:A,1,0)

    Best regards
    Via
