I want to upload sales leads into our CRM software. However, I don't want to have duplicate leads, or that we have already entered in. To avoid this, I must remove duplicates, however names are not EXACTLY the same. (example the lead may say "MOUSE COMPANY" and the sheet may say "MOUSE COMPNAY INC". They are the same, but wont be recognized immediately by excel as duplicates) I want to be able to remove duplicates if the first 5 letters are the same. The rows i want to compare are row C and I of first sheet (new sales leads names) and compare it to row E on sheet 2 (this is our existing customer database) and end goal is all unique names.

I'm having trouble with vlookup two values. I need help to fix a logic check formula to compare two values, but pull one as text *1 to take formatting into account.

I have a pivottable chart and i would like to see the % of a category within a parent category and compare it to the same category within another parent category (i.e. females in dog and child condition). My problem is, the data keeps updating to reflect the percent total from what data is shown. When filtered the numbers change giving me 100% in each.

HI, I need to verify that a formula I was given is going to work correctly. I have a 200K row spreadsheet and the results are not producing what I expect. In a small file that was used to test the formula, it appears to work. The formula is =SUMPRODUCT(($A:$A=A2)*(B2>$B:$B))+1 I need to take value in A, compare it to value in B, and then in the next column, rank the items in B numerically. However, the values in column A and B frequently change. So there may be results 1, 2, 3 or 1,4,5,3,2 (I will need to sort to get the results in numeric order). I do know sumproduct is an extremely resource intensive formula.. Thank you.
