How can I compare value in column A to column D and also compare column B to
column E? If A & D agree and B & E agree, return value of column C.

Thank you!

you dont need to use a nested if

=(and(A1=D1,B1=E1),C1, "otherwise")

Can I compare A1 to the whole D column, not just the cell in that row?

Thanks!

Hi,

On the comparison part of the question, you may array enter
(Ctrl+Shift+Enter) the following

=or(exact(cell of data in col. A,range of column D)).

Copy this formula down. The result will be TRUE wherever there is a
repitition.

You may use the same formula for comparison of data in column B & E

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately I still can't get this to work.

A1=10 B1=3 C1=650
A2=30B B2=10 C2=XY
A3=blank B3=10 C3=100

Since A1 has a 10 and column B has a 10 anywhere in the column, I want to
display value in C1.
Since A2 has 30B and column B does not at all, I want to display "no match"
Does it matter that column C has more rows than column A?

Thanks!

Try this, array entered:

{=IF(OR(EXACT(A1,$B$1:$B$3))=TRUE,C1,"no match")} and copy down your
range.

of course adjust ranges to match your data...

Does this meet your needs?

Sorry, I still keep getting no match for everything. It doesn't seem to
compare A1 to the whole B column. If I enter=OR(EXACT(A1,B:B),C1), I get
TRUE for a response, but it won't pull in value of C1. It also seems to have
a problem if columns being compared are not the same number of rows.

Thanks!

Are you sure you are ARRAY entering this formula (holding down CTRL and
SHIFT while pressing ENTER)?

This formula works in my tests.

copy and paste in D1:

=IF(OR(EXACT(A1,$B$1:$B$3))=TRUE,C1,"no match")

After ARRAY ENTER (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) Excel will show the formula as:

{=IF(OR(EXACT(A1,$B$1:$B$3))=TRUE,C1,"no match")}

copy this down the range...

Good Luck.

This worked! Thank you very much! I'm sorry - I have never used the CTRL -
SHIFT - ENTER before. Now I need to adjust the formula to do 2 comparisons
and if both A matches something in column B and E matches something in column
F, then I want to pull from cell C1. When I replace ORwith AND, and then try
to add another comparison, I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

EX: {=IF(AND(EXACT(A1,B1:B3, D1,E1:E$3))=TRUE,C1,"no match")}

Thank you!

Try this to compare two conditions:

=IF(AND(OR(EXACT(A1,$B$1:$B$3)=TRUE),OR(EXACT(E1,$ F$1:$F$3))=TRUE),C1,"no
match").

Good Luck.
