      Wow, thank you for that compliment)))) Sometimes I can be slow (detail-oriented i say haha) but if you are having an issue getting it working, feel free to ask in the forum: www.teachexcel.com/talk/microsoft-office?src=yt_comment
      If you ask specific questions here, there is a chance that I won't notice it just because I get a lot of comments and replies to my comments don't seem to pop-up again in my comment notification thing on here.
      Have a good weekend!)

    I knew wildcards were powerful but struggled using them, by not understanding the rules obviously. Great explanation but leaves me with more questions (situations to practice!) like combining wildcards: xxxx?* at least one character after and *?xxxx at least one character before. Also how use tilda when using cell references inplace of hard coding a text string.
    Always more to learn. Thanks again.

    Great information. These formulas work to return the first value in a list. But, what could you use to find all values that meet the lookup criteria?

    I am working on trying to figure a Vlookup to pull info from multiple different sheets/tabs in one document. Essentially I have a sheet that is showing which parts are needing to be ordered. some tabs have parts in them that begin with the letter P to signify they are purchased parts. is there a way to look up the part number and quantity from all sheets in the document, and display the part # and quantity on the "Order Parts" tab/sheet?

    Excellent video, thank you!! I'm trying to do a partial vlookup across data array that sometimes has an asterisk. Example, I'm trying to match up 'ABC Moving' in sheet A with 'ABC*Moving' in sheet B. If I'm doing the vlookup from sheet B to A, it finds the match; however, if I'm doing it from A to B, it won't find the match.

    Thank you! How can I do to find for example: "Sonic Temple" in a list where it could appear as "Sonic Temple Event" . And what if we want to see it like word by word. Example I want to search any of those 3 words: Sonic Temple Festival in a list where it could be written: Temple Festival, Or Temple Event or Sonic Bloom. How can I get a return on all of these words? :) thanks

    Hello, I need your tip for this unusual scenario. I am looking up a value from one sheet in another sheet. Source value is CF19724071291022144694151. Target sheet contains the lookup value in the middle of a cell starting preceded by an * , the match should return a value. How do i construct the formula. My formula is not returning value all the time. Not sure why. Thanks for your time and attention
