Question

I’m trying to check if two values exist side by side each other.

on one sheet I have:

Country     Language
UK          EN
UK          DE
UK          ES

And on another sheet I have the same.

What I need to do is make sure UK and EN match in the second sheet’s version.

atm I’ve been trying something like =VLOOKUP(B2, Sheet1!$A$1:$H$230, MATCH(Sheet2!C2, Sheet1!$D$1:$D$230, 0), FALSE)

But no luck on my end.

Can anyone help me out here.

Thanks

If you just need a True False outcome, u can use COUNTIFS

=COUNTIFS(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$4;A2;Sheet1!$B$2:$B$4;B2)

For Excel 2003 and older use

=COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$4;A2)*COUNTIF(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$4;B2)

This will return the number of hits, if you just want TRUE or FALSE wrap it like:

=COUNTIFS(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$4;A2;Sheet1!$B$2:$B$4;B2) > 0
