I need some guidance on a starting point for a project that I want to do for work to help streamline a repeating process.

I have a set of data that I've been compiling (in Excel for now) that has a medication ingredient name and it's associated ID number for one of our internal programs. (i.e.: Starch | 1001 00)

I'd like to be able to cut and paste a list of ingredients (either one by one or a group of them which are seperated by commas) into a search field (find?), run the function and/or process I've created, and then end up with just those particular entries displayed somehow (which I would then be able to reference to enter into the other system).

Is this something that can be done in Excel or Access? If not, any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
