I have a sheet with about 35k rows and 100 columns containing names of contacts along with different kinds of data. Each row has up to 4 cells which include a combined first and last name in a single cell (john doe) (mary jane) etc.
I have another list of about 1k names, such as (doe) or (jane) and I would like to mark the row of the list with 35k names if one of the names from the 1k list is a partial match. None of the 1k list is (john doe), but is simply (doe). The name can appear in any of the 4 cells. I don't mind adding a column, or even extracting all the matching rows into another sheet to create a new database of names and data.
What would the most efficient way of doing this be?
I came across this posting, but I am unsure if this would work with some kind of modification or even be efficient with such a large sheet of data. How to filter a table with two email columns against a list of emails
Thank you
