Have 2 columns A and B both contain file names. There are duplicates so there might be more records in column A as compared to column B. I want to create a third column which states there is no match for the same file name in column B Please find the attached excel. Right now I am doing this manually. Is it possible to do this using a ifcountif or a vlookup?
Use
=IFERROR(MATCH(A1,B$1:B$3,0),"No Match")
If there is a match, then the match returns the position number of the match.
Just drag down, edit the array for B as needed.

I am trying to determine if data Excel file B is correct relative to A. Both files have the same headers except for File B, there is a unique ID attached which I need. There can be several rows of B that correspond to a single row of A. Meaning to say file A contains unique rows and B contains multiple entries of A with a Unique ID for each row. Is there any way to automate the checking process using Excel formulas or VBA? I need to highlight the rows in B that do not correctly match its respective row in A.
Reference Dataset A:
Reference Dataset B:
I need a formula to search file A for the combination and not just one row...E.g row 400 on File A may contain the combination I want the formula to see that row 3 in File B is the same combination and return the yes or formula to see that the combination does not exist in rows 3 through 200 and return a NO and highlight it
Is there a way for me to automate checking? If the data combination in each row cannot be found in reference File A, I need to highlight it. This is a HR file, Drilling down from Macro to Micro organization breakdown.

If you are desperate for help as your nickname suggests, you shouldn't ignore peoples suggestions. As i said in the comments COUNTIFS can do that.
=IF(COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$4,C8,$B$2:$B$4,D8,$C$2:$C$4,E8,$D$2:$D$4,F8,$E$2:$E$4,G8,$F$2:$F$4,H8,$G$2:$G$4,I8)>0,"correct","wrong")
The condition of the IF-function can be used in conditional formatting to highlight wrong lines with color.
I've been trying to create a file to track potential repeat customers without them having membership/serial numbers. If Names in Column A is a match or partial match with names in Column C.
I've managed to get it work when I insert this formula but it is only if the spelling and order of the name is an exact match.
=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A32,$C$2:$C$15))*1)>0
What I am trying to achieve but cannot figure out, is how to write the formula so that:
(1) It can also identify in Column B as YES, if the order of the name in Column A is not the same as Column C.
(2) If at least 2 words in a cell within Column A matches Column C.

I will try and keep this as simple as possible. I have a list of names (first, last) in one column (A), then I get a second list which is usually about a quarter of the list in column A.
I want the cells in column B (the short list) to automatically rearrange so that the names are next to the name that matches in column A.
If there is anyone nice enough to tell me, if this match happens how I would go about getting the word present to be entered in the very next column corresponding to the name on another sheet in the same workbook.
As Glitch_Doctor said, you could use vlookup, but put the vlookup in col B using column A as the reference value and the short list as the array. This would only populate when there is a match - excepting typo's ...
I can't seem to find what I'm looking for and I just can't make it work with the partially correct Answers I find.
So I have an Excel file with empty column A. A lot of data is pasted in columns B to E
I need Excel to check if the data (text) in column be start with "C0". If it does, it needs to add this value to the field in the same row of column A. If column B does not start with "C0", Column A should get the value of column C (which is also text).
The only solutions I find are for integers or for whole strings. In this case the value in column B is a text and somehow can't fix it to look for only beginning with "C0", it always wants to check the whole value or doesn't check at all.
Try this in A2:
=IF(Left(B2,2) = "C0",B2,C2)
I'm working in excel.
I've got a column of numbers.
I want to compare this column to another column of numbers and find exact matches. Then show these matches in another column.
I've tried using MATCH but I cannot get one column to move through the numbers in it and the other to stay the same.
Is there anyway to do this?
If your columns are say A and B (and either both with or both without headers) please try:
=IFERROR(INDEX(B:B,MATCH(A:A,B:B,0)),"")
in the first row of data, copied down to suit. The result should be in the same order as ColumnA, so you might want to sort A.
