Compare two columns with different codes
Dear all
I have two columns with codes. The first column include the main coding (ie: ab1, ab101, ab10101,...) The second column include the same codes, but the first leter is always C. So the coding is (ie: cab1, cab101, cab10101,...) I have notice that some of the codes in the second column are missing. There is any way that i can make a check regarding the second column based the first one. I tried to use the vlookup but the problem is that the first letter is c and basically the two codes looks different. Can anyone direct me of how i can make the comparison between the two columns? Thanks in advance

--Insert a column in between. Say Col B.
--In cell B1 apply the formula; and copy down as required..Will return the text incase the correspondin code in ColA is missing in ColC =IF(COUNTIF(C:C,"c" & A1),"","Missing in Column C") -- Jacob (MVP - Excel) "Manos" wrote: Dear all I have two columns with codes.
