excel - Comparing and matching a range of data with another range of data -
each row of 4 columns represents set of data
a1 : d1 1,2,3,4 a2 : d2 4,2,1,5 a3 : d3 5,3,2,1
etc.
now column set compared column set
f1 : i1 4,6,3,1 f2 : i2 4,3,2,1 f3 : i3 2,3,5,1
the set matches other column set marked red. in example f2:i2
, f3:i3
marked red. need contain same numbers. order not important numbers should match.
i thought of using conditional statements can't seem find way compare , match sets of range other sets of range.
as alternative, thought of adding columns =a1&" "&a2&" "&a3&" " &a4
sort match there tried sorting left right sets , doesn't seem sorting right if @ once. sheet contain large amount of rows chore 1 1.
so i'm out of ideas not excel. :( appreciate can get. :) also, don't mind learning other languages if makes things easier. (as long can import data excel)
if want create single column match on should it:
=concatenate(large(a1:d1,1),":",large(a1:d1,2),":",large(a1:d1,3),":",large(a1:d1,4))
then can use regular lookup functions such match()
