Hello,

I am having a 1500-2000 line item Product master list where in Electrical Mechanical Parts with their Part numbers and description are mentioned. Many a times the part number is mentioned as 214-126 and at time the same is written as 214126. Is there are way in Excel to search for 214126 and still show both the results

You can use FIND with a wild card like

214*126
It wil find any thing that start with 216 and then may have another string but then ends with 126
