Hello Everybody,
As shown in attached fig. I want to write in foundIn colom if a text in authors colom is present in Publications colom. If it is found in Publication 1 then 1 would be written and if that text is found in 6 then another 6 would be written after 1 in the same colom. as in the figure foundin colomn against "Dongwook Shin" 1,2,3,4,5,6 is written because this text(Dongwook Shin) is found in Publications 1,2,3,4,5 and in 6. Similarly "Choon Shim" is found in just 3 and 4.
thanks you.

are you looking this as a formula or as a script that can go thru each row and populate the column
depending on amount of data, it can be quite slow

a formula would need to loop thru each cell and find out that if the data exists or not. Any time you change the value, it would be recalculate

script is like a batch processing. once it is done, it is done
