Hello,

I have a need to compare 2 columns and put the result in the third column.

The critical part here is to compare letter to letter. so unable to find a logic to do this.

Request your help

The data is as below:

[TABLE="width: 342"]
<colgroup><col span="2"><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]Column1[/TD]
[TD]Column2[/TD]
[TD]Result[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]KCVEDPAFLSQBGXZ[/TD]
[TD]KCDPLSQXZ[/TD]
[TD]VEAFBG
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
 
And here is another User Defined Function that should also work...
Code:
Function Missing(Col2 As String) As String
  Dim X As Long, Dept As String
  Missing = "KCVEDPAFLSQBGXZ"
  For X = 1 To Len(Col2)
    Missing = Replace(Missing, Mid(Col2, X, 1), "")
  Next
End Function

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Great! Thanks it works :)

is there also a way to send automatic e-mail ? example alphabet C is in column B, then send mail to "example@gmail.com". i have a contact responsible for each of the characters "
KCVEDPAFLSQBGXZ". i will have to assign person responsible for each "alphabet" and send mail as per column B. sorry for not putting this need

Yes there is, but that is not an area of strength of mine. Somebody else may step in to help or you can have a look around at Ron de Bruin's website where I have seen many people referred to for that sort of thing.
