Hi Sonal, I take a look on your data and find that your data in file1 and file2 are not same as there are some short names and no middle name in one of the file but the other one has full name and short middle name.
It can be done with VBA but if your data is not unique then there is no guarantee of right answer due to unmatched names in file1 and file2. Means it may give wrong answer if there are two Manoj in your data with different surname but same first surname letter or Any mukesh have same surname as Manoj and written in short form M Vartak.
