Muniz Reza, Good Morning.

Do you tried to use the SEARCH function ?

..........A...................B..................................................................
1.....CODE........SENTENCE...........................................................
2...C287198.....MARIQ BLDG MATERIAL TRDG C287785 C287785

=SEARCH(A1,B1)
If the result isn't error then it found a code in the sentence.

You can deal with this case like this:
C1 --> =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(A1,B1)),"",A1)

I hope it helps you.
Tell us if it worked for you.

Thank you for your help.
Still i am having a prob, I need to search in the entire B column whether this A1(C287198) exists in which cell and it should come 'right C cell" against where it exists...

Please advise.
