My sheet1 has "abc def" and sheet 2 has "abc's comms"

when i run that above formula it gives me Blank

That is because this is a different circumstance to what you had presented before. In all your earlier examples the whole of the column A text from one sheet appeared at the start of the column A text in the other sheet.
For example
ABC
and
ABC LTD

In your latest example that is not the case. How do we know what should match and what shouldn't? For example, do these match (after all, they do both start with "A")?
ABC LTD
and
AZZOPARDI SERVICES

thanks a lot, it works perfectly. i have to apply above one of these formula on more than 4000 rows and it shows "Calculating (4 processor(s)) % " and file is stuck. it takes 3 to 4 mins to update entire file. and if i enter new data still it takes 3 to 4 mins to update. Is there any way i can avoid this much time. thanks

Only advice I can give you is, try all 3 formulas and see which one works quickest for your file, and hope you're Not using Entire Column references (i.e. A:A, B:B, etc.), use a limited range larger than you need.

Hi, yes you are right. i was using entire column (i.e. A:A, B:B, etc.). it works good now without using entire column. but i have to change formula every time when i enter new data. is there any way that i do not need to change formula or this formula get total rows number in formula automatically. i do not need to change formula that's why i used (i.e. A:A, B:B, etc.). please guide me. thanks

Just make the ranges big enough to cover any amount of data you are likely to have. You mentioned ab out 4,000 rows, so perhaps make the range 5,000 rows? .. or 10,000 if you think you might need that. Either way it would be much better than 1,000,000+ rows.
