Hello,

Hello,
I'd like to scan a column for any word that's in a list in another sheet and put a code (e.g. "A") on the cell next to it each time it finds it. In this case, the word might be by itself or in the middle of a sentence.

This is almost It, Unfortunately only works when both columns contain lists of one word per cell.

=IF(COUNTIF($M:$M,D2)>=1,"Destroy","")

D equals my column of Titles containing many words M is my list of keywords.

I need to look in a column of key words (One per Cell) and if any of the keywords appear in a cell containing many words The letter D will appear in an adjacent cell.

Many Thanks
