Close Match

[fi.or.jp.de]

Hi All,

I have sheet1 with below data.

Col A Col B
123 AB
123 AC
123 AD
1234 AE
125 AF
145 AG

Col E should be my output.

Col D Col E
123 AB,AC,AD,AE
125 AF
145 AG

I was using the formula in cell E1 and copied across. ( array
function )
=INDEX($B$1:$B$6,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$6=$D1,ROW($A$1:$A$6)),COLUMN(A:A)),
0)

I tried VBA

Sub test()

r1 = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
r2 = Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row

For a = 1 To r2

For i = 1 To r1

If Cells(a, "D") = Cells(i, "A") Then
res = Cells(i, "B")
temp = temp & "," & res
End If

Next i

With Application.WorksheetFunction
Cells(a, "E").Value = .Substitute(temp, ",", "", 1)
End With
temp = ""
Next a
End Sub


While running macro I got output in Col E as follows

Col D Col E
123 AB,AC,AD
125 AF
145 AG


Formula and VBA both are doing "exact" match but I want both close and
exact match.

Eg., ABC 123 DEF 456 is my data and I have another data as 123 DEF

In this case it should consider as matched.

Any VBA soultions ?

Thanks in advance

Hey

Have you tried using the Instr Function in vba
If instr(string,1'string2)>0 then

I think it will be better written in a function not a sub so its more
flexible adjusting the data range
Let me know with you need help writing the Function
What i figured its the same thing as a multiple vlookup

Cheers

Yeah, that would be helpful.

But I have more than 100 thousand rows in Col A and
I have more than 10,000 rows data for Col D

Is the UDF is the best for that?

Change line
If Cells(a, "D") = Cells(i, "A") Then

to
If Cells(i, "A") Like Cells(a, "D") & "*" Then

Found this code a long time ago:
Sub ConcatData()
Dim X As Double
Dim DataArray(5000, 2) As Variant
Dim NbrFound As Double
Dim Y As Double
Dim Found As Integer
Dim NewWks As Worksheet

Cells(1, 1).Select
Let X = ActiveCell.Row
Do While True
If Len(Cells(X, 1).Value) = Empty Then
Exit Do
End If
If NbrFound = 0 Then
NbrFound = 1
DataArray(1, 1) = Cells(X, 1)
DataArray(1, 2) = Cells(X, 2)
Else
For Y = 1 To NbrFound
Found = 0
If DataArray(Y, 1) = Cells(X, 1).Value Then
DataArray(Y, 2) = DataArray(Y, 2) & ", " & Cells(X, 2)
Found = 1
Exit For
End If
Next
If Found = 0 Then
NbrFound = NbrFound + 1
DataArray(NbrFound, 1) = Cells(X, 1).Value
DataArray(NbrFound, 2) = Cells(X, 2).Value
End If
End If
X = X + 1
Loop

Set NewWks = Worksheets.Add
NewWks.Name = "SummarizedData"
Cells(1, 1).Value = "Names"
Cells(1, 2).Value = "Results"
X = 2
For Y = 1 To NbrFound
Cells(X, 1).Value = DataArray(Y, 1)
Cells(X, 2).Value = DataArray(Y, 2)
X = X + 1
Next
Beep
MsgBox ("Summary is done!")
End Sub
