Trying to find closest match in column B for each unique entry in column A.
I have a list like this (very long): ParentSKU ManufacturerSKU 10028 A054150 10028 A054150 1002 AVCRGYGWT 1002 AVCRGNGGD 1002 AVCRBNGBZ 10000 2075492 10000 2075493 10000 2075492 9997 2075488 9997 2075499 For each unique "ParentSKU" in column A, I need to find the longest common text among all of the same ParentSKU's in column B. To demonstrate what result is desired, it's easy to eye it up and find the answer. For the above, the following results are desired: ParentSKU Answer 10028 A054150 1002 AVCR 10000 207549 9997 20754 Is there a way to do this in excel to avoid having to manually go through the entire list and eye up each ParentSKU answer? Each unique "ParentSKU" has between 1 and 54 rows and there are 29,000 total rows. Additionally, "ManufacturerSKU's" can be either text, numbers, or a combination of text and numbers. |
