    Find Matches in two different Spreadsheets without unique ID

    Hi,

    I have two worksheets. One has 50K+ data,extracted from one database, the second one has 400 records extracted from another database.
    Both spreadsheets have Account Name, but spelling might be different- Company ABC and Company abc, Company A.B.A. ,for example.
    There is no unique identifier. I need to compare these two spreadsheets to find matches need excel either highlight them or put in a different worksheet.

    I'll have to do it fairly regular- comparison of two different set of data in order to find matches, unique ID won't be there. With all this said, maybe I need a macro or some process set up, which I can use in my future comparisons.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hello oxy11,

    If you can, you should post the workbook. Please remove or change any information of a personal nature or what your company considers confidential. If you need to scale down the workbook then it should be faithful to original in details. Please include before and after examples of the data along with any comments.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross
