Excel use Wildcards in LOOKUP RANGE -


i know 1 can use wildcards following

a1&"*" 

but possible use wildcards , return range/array? sort of like:

a1&"*":a4&"*" 

table1

columna    columnb john123    ? john243    ? john422    ? 

table2

columna    columnb john       smith 

the goal have match function in table1 columnb pull in value table2 columnb columna's both start john.

i try table1 columnb values

= match( a1 ; table2!a1:a3 &"*") 

i found answer myself eventually:

{=match(a1;table2!$a$1:$a:$4&"*")} 

make sure press ctrl+sfit+enter when entering.
