OpenOffice / vlookup

Question

Why this function works on Excel but it does not work on OpenOffice:

= vlookup ("*" & B2 & "*"; D5: E8; 1; false() )

=recherchev("*"&B2&"*";D5:E8;1;faux() )

How can I do so that I can adjust it to work properly on OpenOffice?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

But I managed to do otherwise. Thank you anyway.

Basically I wanted to use this formula - which didn't work. - to return in each cell of a column an entire paragraph that I have to find from a column which contains an extract in each cell of these paragraphs.

= vlookup (" " & B2 & " "; D5: E80; 1; false ())

I have in B2: B100 the extracts of the paragraphs. I have in D5: E80 the entire paragraphs.

I wanted to find in D5: E80 if this snippet exists and return all the entire paragraph in another column.

That's why I used the star: " " & B2 & " ".

If you have any leads for this kind of problem which may be useful for another time then that will be great.

Thank you again in advance.
