Actually came up with a very simple vb macro:
endrange = Range("A65000").End(xlUp).Row
For r = 1 To endrange
If Range("A" & r).Value Like "obj*" Then
objgrp = Cells.Range("A" & r).Value
Else
netobj = Cells.Range("A" & r).Value
Range("H" & r).Value = objgrp & netobj
End If
Next

vlookups to compare them.
Thank you for the help!
