know it isnt
Work book 1
Column A ColumnB
Op number EA100, Part number BAC100123
Op number EA100, Part number BAC100124
Op number EA100, Part number BAC100125

Workbook 2

the part number is not the same.

Thanks for your help - I tried the formula and it matches the first part
number in column b1 for EA100 but then says B2 isnt a match when it is? Can
you help further

Use the vlookup function.
In Col C put a 'cheater formula' something like...
=IF(VLOOKUP(A1,[Book3]Sheet2!$A:$B,2,FALSE)<B1,"Not the same!","")
