More then 64 levels of nesting need a simpler formula
Everything in Excel could be done by several ways. If at first you explain your logic, illustrate it with small sample (with manually added desired result if possible), mention on which Excel version/platform you are that will be much easier and faster to make concrete suggestion.
In general you did such way, but it's not clear you search for entire value and text as part in another text, are all values texts or some numbers, which Excel do you use.
Above as a comment, I vote for Juliano-Petrukio suggestion. It could be more concrete with more concrete sample.
Hello Sergei, Thank you for this precisions:
The Version I use is Excel 2016 in Windows 10 (1607)
The logic I'm searching is:
I have a table of values that associate with certain users - eg If "RED" user "John"
After that I have an extract that I need to run through for this data
eg. the value color comes out in column "N" and I must assign user in column "S" but the assignment needs to respect the row
If "N1" the cell contains the word "RED" the cell "S1" needs to be populated with "John" .The suggestion of Juliano, can I keep the matching row condition?
I've redone a new sample file
Hope this is more clear.Thank you for you help and time
- Thank you very much this does it perfectly
