Hello,

I have a datasheet with 35000 datas in one column and I have to compare it with another colomn that contain 10-15 lines.

The problem is that the way they are written are not the same.

For example in one column I have : Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86

And in the other I have : Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)


Would anyone be able to help me ?

Thank you :)

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Something like a function or a macro could help me ? If yes do you have an example ?

Thank you a lot ! :)
