I have a few lists of names and dobs, each over 1,000 lines. I am trying to find names and dob's that are common to two lists. The names I want to pull out are the ones that are on each, if they are only on one list I am not interested in them.
What I've done so far is paste two lists together, sort by dob and last name, and scroll down the list looking for duplicates. This is a PITA when the lists, pasted together, exceed 3,000 lines. Can anyone steer me to a better way of getting this done? I will be doing this routinely. There is one "master" list and I will be comparing a few other lists to this master list looking for people that appear on both.
