Unsure if there's a formula/function that can do this
I would really appreciate any advice please ....
I have an Excel spreadsheet that currently has 2 columns ... Column A = suburb name in full (eg Tewantin) Column B = abbreviated version of suburb name eg Tewnt (note, this appears in the same row as the full suburb name in Col A) I now need to enter in a new Column (Column C) of abreviated suburbs (multiple and not in the same order as those that appear in Columns A & B) Question: After I have finished entering all the info in Col C, I would like to 'ask' ... if Col C matches Col B, then insert Col A (suburb name in full) into a new column (Col D). I'm sorry, I know this is a little convoluted, but I hope someone can help me please.
