Match keywords from two different columns

Chirag_Gandhi07

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a spreadsheet with two columns. I would like to compare the two columns to know which share the same key words. For example:

 

Office 1                                                        Org

 

LLTP1-San Diego ABC SO CA                   ABC San Diego Sales Office

LLTP2-Davidson ABC SO NC                     ABC Davidson Sales Office

 

How can I determine the rows that have matching keyword(s) between the two columns?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Hi @Chirag_Gandhi07 ,

 

I've tried to use fuzzy match but I wasn't able to see great results, so I've created another (not so great) way of checking the keywords.

 

LEt me know if that makes sense to you.

Best,

Hi @fmvizcaino This is really helpful. Thank you so much! Is it possible to also add a column that displays the matched words?
