如何从Excel中与值列表匹配的单元格中提取特定单词

Question

How to extract a particular word from a cell in excel from a list (array) of possible values and return that matched word.

I have a list of products, but I just want to know the color. The color is embedded in the products description, therefore I need to extract it out of the item description. Here is a brief example of a list the item descriptions:

CORNER CCP 26" BARN RED
CORNER CCP 28" KHAKI
CORNER CCP 28" SLATE GRAY
CORNER RS EZ ANTIQUE GRAY
CORNER RS EZ 26" ASHWOOD GRAY
CORNER,RSC EZ,AUTUMN CEDAR
CORNER RS EZ 26" BARN RED
CORNER RS EZ 26" CANARY YELLOW
CORNER RS EZ 26" COASTAL BROWN
CORNER,RS EZ 26" COASTAL CLAY
CORNER,RS EZ 26"COASTAL CEDAR
CORNER RS EZ 26" CYPRESS GREEN
CORNER RS EZ 26" CLASSIC WHIT

I want to then compare that Item description with a list of colors I have and then just return those color names.

Answer 1

Place the data in column A.

Place the list of colors in column B.

Place the following array formula in column C and fill down:

=IFERROR(INDEX($B$1:$B$86,MATCH(1,COUNTIF($A1,"*"&$B$1:$B$86&"*"),0)),"")

Note that this is an array formula. In order for it to operate correctly, first copy and paste from your browser window to Excel, then, with the same cell selected, click in the formula bar (or press F2) and press Control + Shift + Enter. There should now be braces around the formula.

If the string in column A contains more than one of the colors in column B, the first matching column B color will be listed.
