    Compare two ranges

    In K8:O100 there is a range of date

    In R8:V100 there is a range of data

    I need a formula in X8 that will look at R8:O8 and see if there is a row in K8:O100 that matches it. If yes that "Y". If no than "N"

    Then I will put the same formula in X9 and look at R9:O9 and see if there is a row in K8:O100 that matches it. If yes that "Y". If no than "N"


    and so on. I just need the first one and then I can drag it down the colums are equal if they match, meaning if it matches K8 will match R8 and L8 will match S8 and so on

    I need a formula in X8 that will look at R8:O8 and see if there is a row in K8:O100 that matches it. If yes that "Y". If no than "N"
    =IF(countif($K$8:$O$100, R8 )>0, "Y", "N")
    and copy down - now a Y will appear for each row

    maybe i miss-understand exactly what you need because of this
    Then I will put the same formula in X9 and look at R9:O9 and see if there is a row in K8:O100 that matches it. If yes that "Y". If no than "N"
    perhaps a sample spreadsheet - with expected results also added - so we know how the data is laid out on what result you would like and why

    Re: Compare two ranges

    Here is an example. Column X is where the formula will be. X8 for example, needs to look at each row in K:O to see if it matches R8:V8, if yes than "Y", if no than "N"

    Re: Compare two ranges

    this would be one way (added a concatenation in col P and col W). Then did a vlookup on those.

    Re: Compare two ranges

    Yes, thank you. What about when it does match, right now it doesnt pull back "Y" in your attachment

    Re: Compare two ranges

    using the rest, change the formula in col X (my version in col Y) to this...
    =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(W5,P:P,1,FALSE)),"N","Y")
