Hi Experts,

I was not able to find a thread similar, so starting this thread.
I am a novice in excel and I am trying to compare the softwares of an application with the master data list.
My questions are as below.

1. I have to compare 2 strings in this scenerio (e.g COL A - microsoft visual c++ redistributable 2015 x64
Col - B - visual c++ redistributable 2015 x64)
2. I have to extract the Software name, year and version from Col 1.

Below is the data.

Software List - Application Data

Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
