Find duplicates in 2 columns and match values


Hi,

Have a problem there.
I have values 4 columns.
Column A - new reference number
Column B - Product name
Column C - Product name & old product names
Column D - Old reference numbers
Column E - column for a formula

What is the best way to match products by names and allocate new reference numbers?
Simple sorting by names won't help, because column C  has also old product names.

  • Hi Alex,

     

    That could be

    =IFERROR(INDEX(A:A,MATCH($C2,B:B,0)),"")

    for E2 and drag it down
