VLOOKUP and "contains"

Hi all,

I have a list of random addresses that may or may not be the full correct address according to a GVT database.

I have over 15000 lines of them and the GVT Database has over 120 000 lines.

I need a vlookup that can contain 'variables' to search the list of my addresses and lookup in the GVT database.

eg: MY ADDRESS

1. 19C St Georges

GVT DB:

1. Flat C 19 St George's Avenue London

Is there any way to do this.

Thanks for all and any help.

How to select certain data in an Excel 2010 workbook

If you want to select the correct data set in a page full of data, the most accurate and efficient way of doing this is to use the ''Shift and Click'' technique.

For example: If you want to select all data in cells A2 to E10, then click on cell A2, hold down the Shift key and click on cell E10 and all the data you want to see is highlighted.

Keep holding down the Shift key and you can move from cell E10 to any other cell in the spreadsheet.
