• search by some key words

    Hi

    I am more used to exact search using Vlookup / Search function etc.
    But i have just been give an excel spreadsheet with long list of names.
    I am supposed to check whether these names appear in a masterlist

    As expected, eg

    COL1
    =========
    Daniel A. Smith
    John B Rani
    Cruz Bill


    Master List in another sheet
    =============================
    Daniel Ang Smith
    Bill Cruz


    Is there any function/formula i can write such that
    If search(col1, in Master List range of cells) , if the row contains a word that can be found in the Range of cells in Master List, return True

    Eg Daniel A. Smith should return a True since "Daniel" appears in master List. "John B Rani" will return False, "Cruz Bill" will return True.

    Thank you
    Yiang
