    match items across companies

    Hi there! I have what I think is a really simple question. I have a long list of genes, and five companies. Each company tests for some genes but not others. Each list of genes is a different length. I want to know which companies test for which gene. I want to be able to look at these across the top like so:

    company a company b company c
    gene a
    gene b
    gene c

    Can anybody help? I've tried to figure it out in excel and then tried to do it in access. I'm out of ideas. Thanks!

    can you provide a sample spreadsheet?

    What does your list of genes look like? is it......
    gene a company a
    gene a company c
    gene b company a
    gene b company b
    etc?

    Yes, here is my spreadsheet. Each worksheet is a company and lists all the genes that company tests for. There are a few other tabs that I tried to make sense of the data but you can ignore those.
