    Help with Sorting

    Hi,

    I need some help sorting/querying data, I have a spreadsheet with 4 columns, column A- contains distances from 150-1950, column B- contains all the zip codes of areas within each distance. Column C - contains a master list of zip codes for an entire region and column D-an ID number for an income ranking for each zip code in column C. There are about 340 cell values in columns A&B and 480 for Columns C&D. What I need to do is find the zip codes that match between columns B&C but columns A&D need to stay associated with their respective zip code. Is there a way to do this in Excel? I've tried sorting (makes part of the data disappear) I've tried conditional formatting (shows that they're all related) and I've tried an =OR and a Match formula. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Column A Column B Column C Column D
    150 12345 11111 2
    150 54321 22222 1
    150 77562 54321 10
    300 77453 12345 2
    300 78654 01234 3
    1000 98765 00000 1
    1000 99999 77564 4
    1000 01253 99999 10
    99887 3

    Hi,

    So I think I understand what you're looking for, but only have one match in the attached spreadsheet. i did it by conditional formatting to orange in column B.
