Your idea to get the expected result for the remaining stocks based on Price (and volume) seems good to me
The trial based on formula give a good result
I will think about adding some VBA
 
Thank you very much !

On second thought......

Maybe you should not rank on correlation to get potential fits.  You
can do something like sum the absolute difference between them, e.g.

  =ABS(A1-B1)
  =C1+ABS(A2-B2)
  =C2+ABS(A3-B3)
...

Here in A1 you have one series and in B1 a potential other series,
both by different providers.  Now you calculate a cumulative total of
the absolute difference between the two prices and if it is small
(hopefully zero) then you can assume B1 with provider X is equal to A1
of provider Y.

Yes, this is manually tedious, but if you can somehow do this with
spreadsheet formulae you can let the cpu do all the work.
