    Creating a list when the content of two columns match

    I have two sets of data (A,B, then C,D).

    Some of the content in column C and D does not appear in columns A and B:

    A = reference numbers
    00001, 00002, 00003, 00004

    B = phone numbers for column a people
    123456789, 234567890, 345678901, 456789012

    C = reference numbers (these contain SOME of the reference numbers that appear in column A)
    00001, 00002, 00004
    (NOTE: 00003 is missing)

    D = phone numbers for column C people (these contain SOME of the phone numbers that appear in column B)
    123456789, 234567890, 456789012
    (NOTE: the phone number 345678901 is missing)

    I would like to create a separate column that contains the phone numbers (columns B and D) of anyone who's reference numbers appear in both columns A and C.

    Please help.

    Thank you.
