How can I perform partial string matching in Excel, allowing for unordered strings that are not in proper sequence?

37 Views Asked by At

I have two tables in Excel. The first table contains a list of stock names in the correct order. However, in the second table, the stock names are not in the correct order and may be partially correct or mismatched when compared to the first table.

I would like to use the VLOOKUP function to match the stock names from the first table with the corresponding stock names in the second table. Then, I want to retrieve the stock prices from the second table and display them in a third table, matching the order of the stock names in the first table.
