LOOKING AT THE FIRST PART OF A CELL
Help please....
Worksheet 1 has column A with town names in it - like Abbotsford Worksheet 2 has column A with areas in it - containing town names - like Abbotsford District. is there anyway to use Vlookup (or something else) to find the match so that I can pull other data from worksheet 2? I've been trying Vlookup but because Abbotsford is not the same as Abbotsford District it's not finding a match. thanks |
