I have a worksheet that contains 900 rows of text data. In the column some of the text starts with a hyphen and space "- ". The others start with a number or alphabets. I am trying to compare this column to another one and find matches between them using IF(ISERROR(MATCH. I followed the thread
http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/923389-=if-iserror-match-question.html
and it helped. But I'm seeing that half of the data that should match is not because of this "- ". Is there somehow I can remove this? Also note that space hyphen space also appears in rows somewhere in the middle of the text. I don't want that to be replaced.
