suppose your data is some thing like this from A1 down
aaasd
aaasd
aaasdfg
bbb
bbbbb
bbbk
ccccc
ccccc
xxxxx
xxxxx
yyyaa
zzzer
zzz
then in B1 copy this formula
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("aaa",A1)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH("bbb",A1)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH("ccc",A1))),"A",IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("xxx",A1)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH("yyy",A1)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH("zzz",A1))),"B",""))
copy B1 down as long as data is there in A.

I think you may have to write a macro. But anyhow if the data is huge there will be problem of overflow. how huge do you expect . you have to separate the criteria.
if you post a sheet with aleast ten critera in each cateogry. some thling can be attempted. use speedyshare.com to upload the file and give the web page for downloading.
