Hello,

 

I have a problem : I Need to compare each caracter into a column A with each caracter of the column B :

 

Example : 

ABResult
1,21,2OK
2,11,2OK
1,31,2,3OK
1,41,2,3NOK

 

Can you help me please ?

 

Best Regards,

Bruno

Hi!

Try this formula for the Result column:

 

If ReplaceChar(ReplaceChar([A],",",""),ReplaceChar([B],",","||"),"")="" Then "OK" Else "NOK" Endif

 

What this will do is compare field A (without any commas) to field B (replacing any commas with the double-pipe || "OR" operator), and if a match is found in A for any of the characters in B, it will replace that character in A with a blank. If there is anything leftover after comparing to all the options in B, then the Result will be "NOK".

 

Does this accomplish what you're looking for? :)
