    Question compare list of 1000 names to list of 59k names

    I need to compare two lists of client names. One list has 59k names to be compared to second list of 1000 names.
    The list of 59k are listed in column D and the other list is in Column E. I tried conditional formatting but unfortunately some of the names are slightly different I.e. fair point communications vs fair point communications inc. I was trying to put in v lookup with a trim function but it didn't seem to be working. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

    Re: compare list of 1000 names to list of 59k names

    You can use the SEARCH function using a wildcard, so "fair point*", stripping out the inc. could prove tricky though.
    Hope this helps

    Sometimes its best to start at the beginning and learn VBA & Excel.

    Please dont ask me to do your work for you, I learnt from Reading books, Recording, F1 and Google and like having all of this knowledge in my head for the next time i wish to do it, or wish to tweak it.
