Data Sorting and Matching by Row

Asked by slow1000 in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: , , , ,

I have an Excel spreadsheet like this:

DZA      DZA      Algeria
ARG      ARG      Argentina
BGD      AUS      Australia
BLZ      AUT      Austria
BEN      BGD      Bangladesh
BOL      BEL      Belgium
      BLZ      Belize
      BEN      Benin
      BOL      Bolivia

I want to delete all instances in the second and third column which do not appear in the first column.  In other words, I need code or a command that will see that the first two rows are fine, but delete B3 and C3, replacing this data with B6 and C6, etc.Start Free Trial
