Default Complex Match

"Other" has column B - date (format YYYYMMDD)
1041073C02 20080907


So 20080907 is a *true Excel date* and it's just *formatted* to display as
20080907 ?

Here is the example:

Main:
Col-A Col-B
1041073C03 7-Sep-08
1041098PRS 20-Dec-08
1067003C04 15-Mar-06
1067003C05 18-Apr-06
1123056PRS 3-Jul-07
1123056C03 16-Sep-07

Other:
Col-A Col-B
1041073C02 20080907
1041098PRS 20081220
1067003C05 20060418
1067003C07 20060625
1123056C01 20070703
1123056C02 20070916

Result Should be:
Col-A Col-B
1067003C07 25-Jun-06

Thank you.

I have 2 worksheets: "Main" & "Other". Both have 2 columns.
"Main" & "Other" have identical Column A - Invoice number 10 positions
(positions 5, 6 and 7 will be used for the match).
"Main" has column B - date (format DD-MMM-YY)
"Other" has column B - date (format YYYYMMDD)
I need to find "Other" records missing from "Main" based on matching
Column
A positions (5-6-7) from both sheets and the correspoding date in Column
B.
If positions 5-6-7 and the date from "Main" matches the same in "Other",
I
don't want such records.
How can this be done? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
