QUery related Excel formula

a) You can use a COUNTIFS formula to check whether the first name/last name combination on Heads Data 1 occurs on Heads Data 2. If this formula returns 0, the employee is missing on the second sheet.
b) You can use an INDEX/MATCH formula to return the Job Description from Heads Data 1 on the Heads Data 2 sheet. You can then check whether it has changed.
c) You can also use INDEX/MATCH or VLOOKUP to return the surname (last name) corresponding to the first name from Heads Data 1 on the Heads Data 2 sheet. You can then check whether the surname has changed.

And wasn't that--getting the result yourself--far more satisfying than if HansVogelaar had written out the formula for you?
Well done! Congratulations. Learning by doing.

It is not a homework question.What is it, if not a homework question? I.e., a question you're expected to work to answer as part of that "learning Excel and VBA" that you are doing?
What have you tried so far on your own? HansVogelaar gave some initial guidance on formulas/functions you could employ. We might be inclined to offer even further help, but you need to show SOME effort here beyond repeated pleas for help.
Please give me solution with attached file, so i will learn new things.
For what it's worth, I'm pretty good at Excel, but I can't just look at your spreadsheet and come up with a formula. I'd have to play around a bit, try this or that. That happens to be the way I learn how. It could (and should) be the way you learn as well. You don't really learn--not REALLY--by having somebody else write the solution for you; you LEARN by working through trial and error. You're not going to break your computer or the Excel program by approaching this through trial and error, and you'll probably find that you learn even through things that don't work.
So have fun. Play with the functions HansVogelaar has already given you.
