Search cell text for maximum reference value
Hello,
My excel file contains substances (e.g. "A"), which have multiple comma-separated labels in a single cell (e.g. "H311, H331, H207, R22). The labels correspond to 2 tables and each label has a category value.
I am trying to find the highest category value that is found for each substance.

I have no idea if this is possible. Your help is greatly appreciated.
I am a MS 365 user on Windows 11.
Try below formula. See the attached file.
=LET(x,FILTERXML("<t><s>"&SUBSTITUTE([@Labels],",","</s><s>")&"</s></t>","//s"),MAX(XLOOKUP(x,H_labels[label],H_labels[Category],0,0),XLOOKUP(x,R_labels[Label],R_labels[Category],0,0)))

I would have never been able to come up with this solution. One problem though: when the maximum label is category 1, the output is 0 instead of 1.
- You do not have R200 in any label of tables. So, how it would be 1? Can you please explain.
