    Comparing differences between two columns

    Hi

    I have used an If function to compare two columns and have match or mismatch. For the mismatches, I'd like to see how different they are. Is this possible.

    IE

    Column A Column B Similar/Different
    ABC Holdings XYZ Corp Different
    ABC Holdings ABC Holdings Plc Similar

    Thanks in advance

    (I'm using Excel 2002)

    I would suggest that more details are required here.

    For eg. Start with different letters (the first 2,3,4,5,6 letters) have/dont have numbers/text in?

    Maybe upload a sample of your desired output
