Of course it's possible... but I don't think that you'll get a one-
line solution.
Just test whether a subset of the second table's column matches part
of the first table's column. Find out how much you have to shift the
column to get it working and pad/truncate the two tables to get the
dimensions and alignment correct.
Hint: When padding/truncating it might be easier to transpose then pad/
truncate then transpose back.
If you post a simplified example, someone might even supply some code
for you.
