VBA Text Array - Scan two columns for array string match rather than one - vba

Question

I have some code which is designed to scan Columns F & G for occurrences of words found in an array, the array containing text found in Column J. If it finds occurrences in either Column F or Column G, it will copy and paste the terms into the corresponding columns.
Column J contains free text from a field in SAP. The field is free text so it could be "Kerry John Pub Expenses" or "CATS O/H Kerry John", or even "CATS John Kerry O/H". There is no data entry standard for this field; this is what makes this task difficult .
Column F and Column G contains first names and last names. The code makes an assumption, if it finds an entry in column F or G that matches an entry in the txt array, it will copy and paste that entry.
During testing, the code proved not sufficient to match the outcomes which I was looking for, and the solution to this problem would be to match text in Columns F and G concurrently for two matching words rather than doing them in separate intervals.
I would like some suggestions as to how this code could be re-written to achieve this result.
Example of successful code run
Here we have 4 rows of data, John Citizen is located in Row 3, therefore the blank cells in Columns F and G, Row 2 can be populated with his first and last name.
The problem
Because I have two rows that contain Kerry Citizen and John Kerry, the row is populated with Kerry Kerry as a result, where the entry should be "John" in Column F and "Kerry" in Column G
Code starts here
Sub arraycolumnmatch()
Dim txtArray As Variant, T As Variant
Dim I As Long, J As Long
For I = 2 To Range("E50000").End(xlUp).row
typ = Range("F" & I).Value
If typ = "" Then
txt = Range("J" & I).Value
txtArray = Split(txt, " ")
For Each T In txtArray
For J = 2 To Range("F50000").End(xlUp).row
If Range("F" & J).Value = T Then
match_txt = T
Range("F" & I).Value = match_txt
End If
Next J
Next T
For Each T In txtArray
For J = 2 To Range("G50000").End(xlUp).row
If Range("G" & J).Value = T Then
match_txt = T
Range("G" & I).Value = match_txt
End If
Next J
Next T
End If
Next I
End Sub

Answer 1

You can simplify your code greatly, and make it work, like this:
typ = Range("F" & I).Value
If typ = "" Then
txt = Range("J" & I).Value
matchFound = False
For J = 2 To Range("G50000").End(xlUp).Row
If InStr(txt, Range("F" & J).Value) <> 0 _
And InStr(txt, Range("G" & J).Value) _
And Not (IsEmpty(Range("F" & J).Value)) _
And Not (IsEmpty(Range("G" & J).Value)) Then
'Both names match. Copy them.
Range("F" & I).Value = Range("F" & J).Value
Range("G" & I).Value = Range("G" & J).Value
matchFound = True
Exit For ' look no further.
End If
Next J
If Not matchFound Then MsgBox "No match found for: " & txt
End If
Tested, works for me.

The Code below runs for every first name on the list but only adds the name if both names match.
Sub arraycolumnmatch()
Dim txtArray As Variant, t As Variant
Dim I As Long, J As Long
For I = 2 To Range("G50000").End(xlUp).Row
typ = Range("F" & I).Value
If typ = "" And Not Range("J" & I).Value = Empty Then
txt = Range("J" & I).Value
txtArray = Split(txt, " ")
For Each word In txtArray
If Not word = "" Then
Set findtext = Range("F:F").Find _
(what:=(word), LookIn:=xlValues)
stoploop = False
loopcnt = 0
Do While Not findtext Is Nothing And stoploop = False And loopcnt < 21
loopcnt = loopcnt + 1
If InStr(txt, Range("F" & findtext.Row).Value) <> 0 _
And InStr(txt, Range("G" & findtext.Row).Value) Then
'Both names match. Copy them.
Range("F" & I).Value = Range("F" & findtext.Row).Value
Range("G" & I).Value = Range("G" & findtext.Row).Value
stoploop = True
Exit For ' look no further.
Else
Set findtext = Range("F" & findtext.Row & ":F" & 50000).Find _
(what:=(word), LookIn:=xlValues)
End If
Loop
End If
Next word
If Not stoploop Then MsgBox "No match found for: " & txt
End If
Next I
End Sub
Edit: Did an integration of #Jean InStr and a Find in Range which would allow for less loop time and a double match find.

Answer 3

I have had to stick with my original syntax, answer is below. Not the most efficient way of reaching the result, but it works
Sub arraycolumnmatch()
Dim txtArray As Variant, T As Variant
Dim I As Long, J As Long
For I = 2 To Range("E50000").End(xlUp).row
typ = Range("F" & I).Value
If typ = "" Then
txt = Range("J" & I).Value
txtArray = Split(txt, " ")
For Each T In txtArray
For J = 2 To Range("G50000").End(xlUp).row
If Range("G" & J).Value = T Then
match_txt = T
Range("G" & I).Value = match_txt
Exit For
End If
Next J
Next T
For Each T In txtArray
For J = 2 To Range("F50000").End(xlUp).row
If Range("F" & J).Value = T Then
match_txt = T
If Not Range("G" & I).Value = T Then
Range("F" & I).Value = match_txt
Exit For
End If
End If
Next J
Next T
End If
Next I
