Description
Experience Level: Entry
Description of excel work: Please see the attached spread sheet which contains a list of product descriptions from a range of around 200 different suppliers.
I want to be able to write the supplier name, i.e. ' Battlefront' in cell C2 and then for the formula in column D to place the word 'Battlefront' in any cells in column D which matches a word in column B. Wherever there is an empty call in column D I will need to write the supplier name in column C. Eventually I hope to end up with a list in column D of all suppliers on the sheet.
All I need is for someone to enter the formula and complete a few examples to prove it works before sending the sheet back to me. The first person who replies with the correct formula will be paid.
Thanks,
Paul
