vlookup with not exactly matching numbers
Thank you! You are a God Send!

The 12 digits are formatted as "000000000000" because some of them begin with 0. Some of the 10 digits begin with zero as well. "Toppers" wrote: and ... =VLOOKUP("*" & A1 & "*",C:C,1,0) also works. "Kelly" wrote: I need to often match up columns on two spreadsheets. One of the xls has a reference number of 12 digits...the other has 10 digit. The 10 digits are the same as the 12 except they are missing the first and last number. Is there a way to do a vlookup using a "wild" card type feature? |
