I have a Excel workbook called FIRSTAM8.xls
Inside I have two seperate worksheets: 1)'DATA' & 2)'WORK'
There are 31886 rows in sheet 'WORK' & 5741 rows in sheet 'DATA'
Column 'C' in 'WORK' contains the customer name, Column 'B' contains the zip code.
In the 'DATA' sheet Column 'H' contains the customer name, & Column 'S' the zip code.
I want to compare (individually, one-by-one) the zip && name Columns ('B' & 'C')
of each row in sheet 'WORK' to/with/against the respective
zip && name Columns ('S' & 'H') of EACH AND EVERY row in sheet 'DATA'.
For example: if BOTH the zip &&and&& name columns of row1 of sheet 'WORK' matches
with ANY (any of the 5741) rows of sheet 'DATA' then row1 IS a match/hit,
and the entire row1 of sheet 'WORK' is highlighted yellow to indicate the match status.
If row1 of 'WORK' matches to multiple rows of 'DATA' that is okay, it is still highlighted.
However if row1 of 'WORK' does not match (by the criteria of zip && name) to ANY of the
5741 rows in "DATA" then it is not highlighted and the next row (row2) is processed.
Note: When comparing names, I really mean comparing the first
character of the customer name fields. I do this to avoid
false negatives and so not to miss a potential match.
This will entail using the substring manipulation functions.(?LEFT)
