Compare two worksheets with "contains" and not "exact" values
Dear experts!
I have two worksheets. Given examples below: Excel 1 Column A 00123466799 126565897854 45457878451 45546544782 155467846564 Excel 2 Column A 1234667 65897854 57878451 46544782 67846564 I want to compare both the excels...... and give me result like a "vlookup" function... however, in this case, the columns wont exactly match - but excel 1 "contains" the values of excel 2 in the same order - ignoring prefixes or suffixes |
