    Compare two cells, one with abreviated phone numbers and one with full phone numbers

    Hi,

    I would like to do a check for hundreds of phone numbers.

    In column A, I have a short internal numbers and in column B, I have the full external numbers.

    Each short number contain the last 3 digits the last 3 digits of the full number.

    Any idea on how to proceed?

    Thank you very much

    N.

    if 3 digit number is in cell A1 and long phone number is in cell B1 then in C1 try:

    this will return TRUE or FALSE if the last 3 digits of the long phone number match the content in the adjacent cell in column A

    Hi dosydos,
    thanks a lot for the very fast answer. Unfortunately, I have an error with this formula. It says #NOM? which you can translate to #NAME? in English. I am working on a French version.
    Thanks a lot.
