    Partial matching two columns of data?

    I'm working with 2 columns of data, the first column will always be the same and the second column will always be different. I'm trying to get the third column to partial match (6 characters) column 2 to the column 1 data. I can get it to work if there's exact matches in column 2 but not for partials

    Any help appreciated, thanks!

    Example excel file attached.

    See Column C for the answer I think you want?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    It's close, but column D is the ideal answer. In your example it didn't match up the ddd.com to it's correspondent in column A. I'm really stumped with this one and not sure it's possible.
