Default Data Compare

Is it possible in excel to run a search that checks if the details in 2 cells
of a row occur together again in the any row but different columns. for
instance:

D2 = JOE
E2 = BLOGGS

Check if JOE is present anywhere in column M with BLOGGS also present in
that same row in column N

Certainly, here's one way
Assuming data in row2 down
In J2: =IF(E2="","",IF(COUNTIF(M:M,E2),"Y","N"))
Copy J2 down all the way to the last row of data in col E
