Matching List Entries
Hi, How / Is it possible to match entries in lists that are in a random order and are different lengths i.e. col1 col2 1 1 2 2 5 7 6 6 8 9 3 3 4 4 7 9 To get col 1 col 2 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 6 5 7 6 8 9 9 Being in order isnt particuarly important but matching up the values is. Thanks in advance.

Matching List Entries
Sort one of the lists (DataSort)
In the column adjacent to the sorted list use a VLOOKUP() formula Let's say the sorted list is in A1:A100, and the other list you want to match is in D1:D100. In B1 put this formula and copy it down =if(isna(vlookup(a1,$d$1:$d$100,1,0)),"",vlookup(a 1,$d$1:$d$100,1,0)) "steev_jd" wrote: Hi, How / Is it possible to match entries in lists that are in a random order and are different lengths i.e. col1 col2 1 1 2 2 5 7 6 6 8 9 3 3 4 4 7 9 To get col 1 col 2 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 6 5 7 6 8 9 9 Being in order isnt particuarly important but matching up the values is.
