Re: [libreoffice-users] Match Items from two different matrix

Hi Brian:

        I understand now what you are saying

        Following my last e-mail:

- In the first Matrix (Sheet 1), I have a list of games from a site of
internet (Column A)

- In the second Matrix (Sheet 2), I have my own list of games.

- Neither name is repeated into first Matrix or into second Matrix

- I need to find which games of the first Matrix appear in the second
Matrix finding equal string or equal word into the string. For example:

First Matrix:                   Second Matrix:

Column-Row A1                   Column-Row A6

0 A.D.                          0 A.D. Empires Ascendant

The content of A1 and the content of the A6 are about the same game but
they uses different name (One single and the other complete)

I need to find A1 for A6 in Column B6 of Second Matrix by the key in
this case "0 A.D." that appear in both names.

Sometimes, both, the name of the game of the First Matrix and the name
of the second Matrix are equals.

I try to do this by formula unknowing the exactly key but knowing that
there is.

Thank you again,

Regards,

Jorge Rodríguez
