Is this row by row - so if there is a match it is on the same row. If
not,
then which row in column E should be used? Adjacent to the cell in A or
C.

I have 5 columns of information. Column A and C are text; B and D are
numbers. I need to match a text string in column C to the same string in
column A. When a match is found, subtract the value in the adjacent cell
in
column D from the value in column B. put the result in column E. Can
anyone
help?
