I have 2 columns of addresses and I need to determine which addresses are not present in the second column. The issue is the text values are not the same between the 2 columns. EX: Column A has 1 SUNFLOWER. Column B has 1 SUNFLOWER LN. Any formula to attempt to identify the address that are similar?

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
