this is what I am using : if(isnumber(search("a",A1,1),"a") However I need to search for more than just the letter "a" in the column A. so I have cells b1 = a , b2=b, b3=c , so when I try if(isnumber(search($B$1:$B$3,$A$1,1),$B1:$B$3) this will be dragged down to all cells to search each cell of column A, and this is where I get no results with the second formula, where formula 1 works. To take it a step further I want to assign a Rand Value to the B cells, so that when the words/letter match instead of posting the word/letter it posts the Rand value.

I need assistance regarding a formula to pull a specific phrase from a cell containing a sentence. I am using the following : =INDEX($AB$2:$AB$146;MAX(IF(ISERROR(SEARCH($AA$2:$AA$146;'[January 2018 C3D.xls]January 2018'!R7));-1;1)*(ROW($AB$2:$AB$146)))) however it is failing to pull the information through and seems to not exact match the values.
