Troubleshooter of Error: Comparing columns with different text values in Excel 2007

Comparing columns with different text values in Excel 2007

Hello!

I'm struggling with a bit of a problem as to how to compare some columns in excel 2007.
I have 3 columns of data, column A contains first names, column B contains last names and column C contains full names.
Not every name and last name in columns A and B is contained in column C, but column C contains all of A and B and about 1000 extra names that are not in the first to columns.

i.e.


A
B
C

Angelina

Jolie
Pitt, Brad

Brad
Pitt
Lawrence, Jennifer

Emma
Watson
Jolie, Angelina

Ellen
Page
Smith, John

Is there a way to compare or match the columns? Like getting rid of every name in column C that doesn't appears in columns A and B?

Thanks in advance!!

Hello Mike,
 I didn't mention that column C includes a lot of names containing first, middle, last name AND second last name.
Yet columns A and B contain only the First Name and the First Last Name...

So this will add I assume some complexity to the formula,

Hi,
Your assumption is correct, that fundamental change to the requirement makes things very difficult indeed, so much so I wouldn't even begin to attempt it with a formula.

Even with VB code I think the challenges here are very formidable.
For example say we have only 2 rows as below, which one of the 2 exists in column B?
To proceed with this you will need to provide very clear rules regarding which names from column C we use when there are 2,3 4 names in a cell (could there be more?) and also whether a VBA code solution is acceptable.

  • Type "regedit" and hit ENTER.
  • In the Registry Editor, select the Error 0x9C-related key (eg. Windows Operating System) you want to back up.

  • In the File Name box, type a name for your backup file, such as "Windows Operating System Backup".
