Hi guys, long time reader first time poster. Got a bit of a weird one i can't figure out.

Here's whats going on:

I have a sheet that has some Signs we're going to print. I need to verify that the price in column E matches what is in the export from our database on a different sheet. The problem arises in that i have to match the export up with a partial name of the Brand in column C against the brand on the export sheet -- but it's not exact, or complete. Some brands have the same amount, some have 15 more listed. This is because there are several "signs" that are group signs for one category of products (highlighted in green). Those items will just get one sign for the entire group (price is all the same).

I'm hoping to be able to pull all of the brands from the Export sheet and do a partial match against the names of items on the Sign sheet so i can return the Product Number and just match everything up from there. However, I feel like i'll need to go in and manually create a bunch of new lines for each and every brand anyways which is so granular i might as well just do it all by hand. I'm wondering if it can be done with some sort of filter formula, but im not sure how you would tie it out against the NAME of the product.

Honestly, I'm just kind of lost here. It seems like there is just too many partial matches for anything to be cleanly matched up without doing it all manually. Any and all help is appreciated. Full data set is around 3k lines on both sheets, +/- about 1k items.

Thanks guys!
