I have a spreadsheet which needs to look up information from another spreadsheet for staff members. The problem is that in 1 file the name may be listed as Norm Brown (all in one field), the other one could have Norman Brown (all in one field). Other examples are Chris Jones and Christopher Jones. It isn't a matter of simply putting in a wildcard in the first argument of a Lookup or Match argument because the first spreadsheet has names anywhere from 3 to 10 characters. I'm sure there must be a way, just can't get it to work at the moment.
