I am comparing two columns in two pivot tables on one sheet. On one column the data starts with a zero and in other column there is no zero, I am using condiformula,
=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH($D$5:$D$240,A6)))
On both column to find what is common in each of those columns. The problem is that the formula works on the column where there are preceding zeros, but it does not where there are no zeros, and where there are no zeros, there are some with zeros and it works only on those cells.
In other words, even though the data is not exactly matched because of preceding zeros, it still works, weather I use SEARCH or FIND, but in other column it works only on exact findings.

I do not know if that is clear.
 

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Sort by date Sort by votes
there is one problem using this formuls, not all entries have preceding zeros. so using this formula will remove non zeros as well, like some starts with W.
I am looking for a formula that will search NOT EXACTLY, but closes.

Thanks

Try

=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH($D$5:$D$240,RIGHT(A6,LEN(A6)-(LEFT(A6)="0")))))
