Hi experts
I hope what I ask for it the Excel can deal with it , despite of it's complicated .so I want matching the items in column B for sheet DATA with column B for sheet REP1 . the problem is very similar for the items with simple differnces . I no know if my standard is acceptable . I want when match the items based on sheet DATA should depend on the first three & last items( because will show in another sheet REP1 with simple differences like space or add another item or the size of letter , then should ignore theses differnces)
for instance
in sheet DATA the item =BS 1200R20 18PR G580 TCF JAP
and the same item =BS 1200R20 G580 TCF JAP in sheet REP1
but becarful when search the items in sheet REP is not necessary could be in the same location into cell as in sheet DATA .the most important should be matched based on first three, last items for the similar item for sheet DATA
so when search based on first three, last items for the similar item for sheet DATA will take theses BS 1200R20 G580 JAP then should be matched and put BS 1200R20 18PR G580 TCF into adjacent cell BS 1200R20 G580 JAP as I put the result in sheet master. also should merge the values for column C & D and add column BALANCE to subtract column C from column D and highlighted the items are simple differences .
should show the whole items for two sheets even if the item is available in sheet but not is vailable in another .
I put a little result in sheet MASTER to understand it
last thing if the items values are zero for columns C,D for for any sheet no need showing in sheet MASTER
if what I ask for it is impossible . all of my ears to any suggestion .
thanks
