I'm having trouble applying the right formula to my spreadsheet. What
I'm trying to do is compare two columns and determine which numbers in column A appear in column B. The problem is the way my data is stored: A B 12345 12345r1 12345 23456 12345 67890r2 23456 34567 As you can see, I'll either have an exact match (23456) or a partial match (12345 & 12345r1). So I would need, say column C, to display True, True, True, True, False. I tried the formula "=ISNUMBER(MATCH(LEFT(A1,5)&"*",List2!A:A,0))+ 0" but that returns True only for partial matches, not exact. Does anyone know which formula I should use for my case? Thank you!
