Looking for help on what Function to use
- Oct 02, 2020
Let's say the names are in A2:A100 and D2:D50.
In B2 (or another cell in row 2), enter the formula
=ISERROR(MATCH(A2,$D$2:$D$50))
This will return TRUE if the value of A2 does not occur in B2:B50, FALSE otherwise.
Fill down to row 100.
You can also use this formula in a conditional formatting rule for A2:A100 of type 'Use a formula to determine which cells to format' to highlight the non-matching names.
