Default hi - is there a formula that matches text in different columns?


Hi,
I have two columns of email addresses, say 1000 in Column E and 500 in
Column F. I would like to sort Column F so that each individual email
address in column F is in the same row as its matching email in Column
E. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks

One way to compare and produce the results that you want ..

Assuming data in cols E and F is from row1 down
Put in G1:
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(E1,F:F,0)),E1,"")
Copy G1 down to E1000 (the last row of data in col E)
Col G returns the required results

If desired, copy col G and overwrite col F
with a paste special as values, then clean up by deleting col G

Should you have email in col F which is not found in col E,
then better to withhold this action ..

If desired, copy col G and overwrite col F
with a paste special as values, then clean up by deleting col G


To check & retrieve any email in col F which is not found in col E

Put in I1:
=IF(F1="","",IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(F1,E:E,0)),"",ROW() ))

Put in J1:
=IF(ROW(A1)COUNT(I:I),"",INDEX(F:F,MATCH(SMALL(I: I,ROW(A1)),I:I,0)))

Select I1:J1, copy down to the last row of data in col F

Col J will return email in col F which is not found in col E,
with all results neatly bunched at the top
