Hello everybody,

I would like to let excel sort out two lists for me with item ID's, revisions and last saved date. i think it's possible with the VLOOKUP function but i don't know for sure. Please look at the example below and let me know if it's possible to do this by excel formula's.

Startlist:
ABCDEFGHIJK

Meaning is to sort the list by item nr. but keeping cels Ax-Cx and Ex-Gx together.
Column I: i want to use to see if the item is in list 1a/1b or both(2)
Column J: If listed on both compare Bx to Fx, same true, different false
Column K: If listed on both compare Cx to Gx, same true, different false

Above the lists should be filters to search.

my main concern is to get the list sorted like in cells A1-G8, rest i already know how to solve!

Anyone an idea to solve this?

If you see 1E+100 in column I you've copied down too far.
It assumes there are no repeats within column A (same goes for column E).
