It's possible to compare values from two columns that are on different rows in Excel. You can use the INDEX and MATCH functions together to achieve this. Here's how you can do it:

Suppose you have two columns of data in columns A and S, and you want to find the matching values from column A in column S, but they are not on the same row. You can follow these steps:

1. In cell B1, enter the formula:

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1, S:S, 0)), "Match", "No Match")

This formula will check if the value in cell A1 exists anywhere in column S. If it does, it will return "Match", otherwise "No Match".

1. Drag the formula down along column B to apply it to all rows you want to compare.

This will give you a result of "Match" or "No Match" for each value in column A based on whether it exists in column S or not.

If you want to find the corresponding value in column S when there's a match, you can use the following formula in cell C1:

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1, S:S, 0)), INDEX(S:S, MATCH(A1, S:S, 0)), "")

This formula will return the matching value from column S if there's a match, otherwise it will leave the cell blank.

Again, drag the formula down along column C to apply it to all rows.

These formulas should help you identify the variances between the two columns on different rows. The text was created with the help of AI
