Find Matches from two columns with data that is in a different order

Lauren_Holmes

Hello, 

 

I am a little stuck. I need to try and match two columns from one file that contain the same information. However this information will be in a different order from each column. 

 

For example:

 

COLUMN 1:

123,ABC,456

 

COLUMN 2:

ABC,456,123 

 

These would be considered a "match" as they contain the same information. 

 

However if i had

 

COLUMN 1:

123,ABC,456

 

COLUMN 2:

456,ABC

 

This would be considered not a match as source 2 does not contain all the information. 

 

Any support and ideas would be really appreciated - I have attached an example file.

 

Thank you in advance 🙂
