I'm new to this forum, just joined today from Canada.
I have 2 product lists from 2 different suppliers. The products names, item numbers, etc. are all different.
What I want to do is compare these lists to see which supplier is giving us the best price for a particular type of item.
For example, the 1st supplier has 20 different types of hairbrushes. The description of each hair brush is different, but it has some common words like "hair brush"
The 2nd supplier has a list of 40 different types of hairbrushes. The description of each hair brush is different, but it also has some common words like "hair brush"
How can I use Excel to compare the 2 lists for items from the 2 different suppliers for different items that have some common words (e.g. hair brush, dust pan, spoon, etc.)?
Each supplier has about 5,000 items each.
Thanks.
