Hi everyone,
I'm trying to match the data in a column from one excel file with another column of data from a separate excel file. If there is a positive match, I would like it to return a cell data on the same row in the following column on the first excel file. I understand that this can be done with vlookup but because the data in separate excel file contains commas and thus I can't get a true match.
To visualize what i'm trying to illustrate, i'll breakdown into steps.
I would like to match the data below in excel file 1 to excel file 2.
Excel file 1
83883
89342
83603
84445
434961
Excel file 2
83883
89342, 541879
83603
522354, 84445
83985, 434961
Lets imagine that there is another column of data next to the list of data in excel file 2. If there is a positive match between excel file 1 to excel file 2, i would like to return cell next to the data in excel file 2 on the same row.. to the cell next to the data in excel file 1.
This is a pain for me as I have a column with few thousands of such data.
Please help me out with a macro for this task.
Thanks
