Default Match and Vlookup issue

Bingo! My mind got stuck in having to use the OR statement. It works
perfectly. Thank you!

That does not work because if either MATCH expression fails and
returns the #N/A error, OR() will return an error.

Try:

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH($A3,'Current'!$A$2:$A$100,0)), "Match",
IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH($A3,'Waiting'!$A$2:$A$100,0))," Match",""))

This is also more efficient because IF() will evaluate the second
MATCH only if the first ones fails.
