Formula or logic needed to match various criteria

Hi All

Could you please assist, 

 

Project

I need to reconcile a statement using multiple criteria

I have attached a file which contains a sample source and the finished result I want

 

Task 1 - Need to extract the first column (A Number) based on first 4 digits - Completed

Task 2 - Need to extract the column  (A Account) based on last 4 digits - Completed

For eg


Now the main task

A NumberVoucherDateA Account Amount JALA
1000-035324ABJ00000462330/06/20221026150-2235-AB0751-8340-  1,500,000.0010008340
1000-035324ABJ00000462330/06/20223025200-2235-AB0751-8340    1,500,000.0010008340
1000-035324ABJ00000462330/06/20221026150-2235-AB0751-8234-        25,000.0010008234
1000-035324ABJ00000462330/06/20223025200-2235-AB0751-8234          25,000.0010008234
1000-006139ABJ00000233930/06/20213025200-2235-AB0751-8245-        45,000.0010008245
8245-006787ABJ00000239830/06/20211026150-2235-AB0751-1000          45,000.0082451000
8245-006787ABJ00000239830/06/20211026150-2235-AB0751-1000            1,500.0082451000

 

If data extracted from task 1 and task 2 matches with date column (Date) and amount column (Amount) then give me a Match else give No Match

 

Points
1. The data in JA and LA can come in any order like the ones I have highlighted in bold
2. All the matching criteria could be anywhere in the source. 

I was thinking of adding a helper column where I add column  JA and LA and use the helper as a lookup to match amount and date


Please help

Hmm, maybe let's reset the workflow. You want to join between LA and JA right?

 

But there are some occasions where LA matches to JA and vice versa - thereby flagging it as YES right?

Thanks @caltang 

I  have added additional columns to showcase the JA/LA switch, I have highlighted the problematic ones in yellow

Hmm, I've checked the data manually and got this:

This should be right.
