Looking for comparable data records between Sheet1 and Sheet2
In both sheet1 and sheet2 I have hundreds of records.
60% of the records in sheet1 are also in sheet2. If I concatenate 2 of the fields "LastName" and "Amt", can I insert a formula in a helper column (Sheet2) that will search sheet1 and bring back a "yes" if found, "no" if not...? =if(sheet2!B13&G13 = vlookup(sheet1!$B$5:$K$200, "yes","no")??? ANy help appreciated.. |

Hi!
No need for concatenation and a helper. You can concatenate the fields in the formula. Assume the last name and amount are in the same columns in Sheet1 as they are in Sheet2. Entered as an array: =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B13&G13,Sheet1!B1:B100&Sheet1! G1:G100,0)),"Yes","No") Biff -----Original Message----- In both sheet1 and sheet2 I have hundreds of records. 60% of the records in sheet1 are also in sheet2.

Biff:
Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for (a CSE type formula). Jim "Biff" wrote in message ... Hi! No need for concatenation and a helper. You can concatenate the fields in the formula.
