Default How do I compare string values in one column to another column?

You could use a VLOOKUP. In the column to the right of the pasted
outside source data try this function.

=VLOOOKUP(outsidesourceA1,referencearrayA1:B10,2,F ALSE)

This is where reference array is the workbook containing the data to
match and return a value from in column B of the outside source data.


Does this help?
