    Function to difference two columns case sensitive and add the description from colum1

    Hi,

    I am starting to stress with this easy function I should be able to do, but I am not.

    I need to compare ColumnA from Page 1 to ColumnA from Page 2, and if it finds a match (case sensitive) putting the description from PAGE2 on ColumnB,PAGE1.

    Any help, please? Thanks.

    as I can see there is no matching IDs

    your profile shows 5.2, is this Libre Office?

    Hi Sandy, apologies, it's 2212. At least is what Excel tells me. And thanks for the reply.

    I've matched some IDs, but it also matches the uppercase with the lowercase so is giving me a big headache.

    1. there were no case sensitive matches.

    2. I made some. see shaded cells.

    3. Next time upload a SAMPLE sheet (10-20 rows, not 22,001).

    =IFERROR(INDEX(Page2!$B$2:$B$22001,MATCH(TRUE,EXACT(Page1!A2,Page2!$A$2:$A$22001),0)),"")

    Interesting if something like this 0031v0000203HSx doesn't exist on Page2 /ID

    Hi Glenn, Sandy, truly thanks for your reply. I am pretty noobish using excel, so I apologise for it. Your formula truly helped me because the file I attached had extra characters, so I attached the correct Id, reformulated with the formula you gave me and is working great now. Thanks for the help.
