Hello All ,

I am working on a Project where I need to find out Matching Customer Name from Payee List in Column A

Column A has Payee Details ( Contains Customer Name also has Alpha Numeric and Special Characters )
Column B has Primary Applicant Name
Column C has Co Applicant 1 Name
Column D has Co Applicant 2 Name
Column E has Co Applicant 3 Name
Column F where I need to return Approximate Name Matched in Column A with Name in Columns ( B , C ,D, E)
Column G where I need to return from where I found Matched Name

I looks a bit complicated , With Normal VLookup it is not matching , Can there be a VBA code for this as this has approx. 5000 rows of Data , Very difficult to do manually
