Updating Values in One Source Depending on Cell Values in another source(VLookup in Excel)

Hi. I have two sources, Source A and Source B.

 

Source A:

NameAccountab
10001234  
10001235  

 

Source B:

NameAccountab
10004HiBye
10005HelloPeace

 

I need to search through Source A and find where the Name = Name from source B. I also need to match where Account from Source A ends in the same number as in Account from Source B. If there is an instance of the match then I need to add the values in and b from source A into and b of the source B.

 

I want Source A to end up as:

NameAccountab
10004HiBye
10005HelloPeace

 

I have tried a Find & Replace Tool, but couldn't get it working. Any ideas?

Add a Formula tool to parse the last digit of the Account from Source A, then use a Join tool configured to join on Name & the new Account field.
