Comparing data & automatic adding of classification
Create a mapping table (shown on the same sheet below but it can be on a different sheet)
Formula in B3:
=XLOOKUP(A3, D$3:D$6, E$3:E$6, "No match", 0)Corresponding sample attached
HI Lorenzo ,
thanks again for your help, but I need to pick your brain once more.
Attached you see a dummy example for the issue. As you can see, I have multiple comments with the same context, only the date is various. My question now is, is it possible to set up a auto detect?
By that I mean, in the master file with all comments and classifications I have instead of
Misdelivered, delivered properly 10th March - only Misdelivered, delivered properly* or even shorter; Misdelivered, delivered* and when I ran the look up that is detects the classification for the "long comment" in a shorter version.
I hope you understand my thinking process here.
thanks in advance, for even trying!
kind regards

Don't get me wrong but this has nothing to do with the problem you initialy raised + you have no classification
I carefully looked at what you submitted and tried to put something together (see attached file) to help you but I'm not sure at all this does what you want - Hopefully this will give you ideas...
And a recommendation if I may : work with Tables as doing this kind of things of > 1 Million of rows is expensive while a Table limits the range to the actual number of rows you use. One of the big advantages of Tables is they auto-resize as you add data. In other words they offer dynamic ranges 🙂
All the best
thanks again for the quick answer. It's not the initial issue, but is somewhat connected. If i should create a 2nd thread for it, i will gladly do it.
the classification would be on the 2nd sheet. maybe i explained it poorly. i'm ooo and don't have xls on my personal pc. ( for obv reasons haha). I will give a shot on monday.
thanks !
have a nice weekend
kind regards
