I have recently categorized a large amount of companies into industry sectors manually. I have a similar dataset now, and cannot think how to automatically categorize the new dataset.

I need a formula to search the new dataset and where a company is found that also exists in the old data, assign the same sector.

Here is a link to a sample of the data so you can see the problem:

Any help much appreciated!
