I have a lookup table in which the lookup column is composed of product codes. The codes are inconsistent in length, and contain inconsistent numbers of leading zeros. There is a second list of product codes which is used as lookup values, to compare with the first table. The second list also contains inconsistent numbers of leading zeros, and does not necessarily match the syntax of the first list.
How can I find a match between the two product code columns, when the number of zeros does not match? I have tried the VALUE function, but that seems to work only on the lookup value - I cannot get it to work on the lookup table.
