    Matching email addresses to Names and Last Names

    I have a list of email addresses in one file and First Name and Last Name in another file. I want to match the email addresses to the names and copy them to the file which has names. What formula can I use as partial matching becomes tricky.
    My data is in the following format

    File 1 File 2
    Column A Column A Column B Column C
    Email addresses First Name Last Name I want matched email addresses here...

    What formula or code should I use??

    Is the information in two files or two different spreadsheets? For partial match, you need to be specific ie, I need to be able to match the first three chars.

    INDEX, LOOKUP, VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP could be used. You need to provide a spreadsheet if you want specific help.

    The information is in two different files. There are two separate files for the data. I can get them in two different sheets also.

    You can work with two different workbooks (files) but it is much slower than different worksheets also many functions require that the file be open - less likely if the data is in different workbooks (files).

    Re: Matching email addresses to Names and Last Names

    Alright I will have the data in two different sheets and one file. But the question remains of how can I look for last names and first names in a list of email addresses...

    for eg

    First Name - Jason
    Last Name - Simons

    Email address - [email protected]

    How can I look for "Simons" in the email address list that I have and get this email address out.... and I have a list of about 8000 to 10000 each.....
