I have a list of parts that I have scanned into Excel, I need to compare them to a list that was derived from Access that is now in Excel. I can compare in Power BI if that is best.
The list I scanned is one column and the list I compare to is 2 columns, I was able to get the list separated using this formula, =LEFT(('sp9'!B55),FIND("-",('sp9'!B55))-1)
Here is a sample of data I need to compare. The first is the main list I need to compare to, the second picture is the data I scanned in, and the third photo is what I transformed the second dataset into.
I transformed it to this
How can I make the transformation to start transforming the data in the next column once no more inputs are left in the column or, is there a simpler way to compare the data?
Should I be thinking VBA, Power BI, Formulas, or something else, I don't want to take 3 months (literally) to compare the data when it could be automated in some way.

@peiyezhu What I mean by compare is, I make a list of all the parts in a drawer, look at a list of what is supposed to be in that drawer according to our database, if the database says a part is in that drawer then I mark it green, if the database says it is in a different drawer I correct it and mark it green, and finally if the part does not exist in the database I add it in and mark it yellow. I will try to email you a sample workbook that has sample data since I am unsure of how to upload the data.
