D + Colum E Data . Tell me what formula i should use? Vlookup or combination

Hi Amit,

One way you can do this uses a couple helper columns.

In column G place
=A3&B3

In column H place
=D3&E3

Finally, the result in column H:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(G3,$H$3:$H$15,1,FALSE)),"miss","h it")


Another way does not use helper columns, but only this array formula
(commit with Ctrl+Shift+Enter):

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A3&B3,$D$3:$D$15&$E$3:$E$15,1,FAL SE)),"miss","hit")
