Tricky one- I need to compare two lists to determine where an incorrect
letter or number has been entered. each casehas a set of two intials and an id number comprising a 3 letter and four digit number. in the example below c1 and c2 come from one list, and c3 and c4 from another. they are not in the same order however. c1 c2 c3 c4 DK GHB1234 DK GHB1234 GB DAK7654 LM FDE4587 LM SDE4587 GD DAK7654 AS LKS6532 AF LJS6532 this example aboves shows the four most common outcomes. row 1= row 1 both values match, all good row 2= row 3 initials don't match, but id number does row 3=row 2 initials match, one letter in id doesn't row 4 = row 4 both initials and id don't match, but they are close. I would prefer not to order the columns, but could do so I guess. I was hoping to return the position of the match. sorry about the confusing instructions, I hope that someone might have a pointer or two. there are around 400 to test cheers |
