matching fields between two workbooks
I have two work books. I am trying to find matching fields in workbook 2
using vlookup but I can only get it to work when I delete all text around the field in question by using text to columns to separate out the record I am after. Is there a way of ignoring the text around the string I require? Work book 1 YWB500220 Work book 2 (03)LR00:YWB500220 , VL00:30765034-AA , MA00:DH57-67730--Z01- |
