Hello,
I have 2 lists. One list consists of the names of agencies as they would appear in our company's data base. The other list is the official business names. I would like match our company list with the official business name list by matching at least 2 words from the name with a name that shows up in column C (Official agency name).
If possible, I would like to ignore preposition and article words since they are used often in agency names.
I am looking for a formula to do this - thanks
You can try this formula
=IF(A2="","",VLOOKUP(LEFT(A2,4)&"*",$C$2:$C$20,1,0))
