    Help matching if two columns match on two different sheets

    Hi all,

    I am having issues returning a "match" or "not match" in excel 2016 when comparing columns from two different sheets.

    Sheet 1 Sheet 2
    NAME # NAME #
    JON 25 JON 25
    KARA 26 KARA 26
    EDDY 27 Eddy 27
    Sarah 28 Sarah 28
    Emily 55 Emily 30

    I am using this formula in Sheet 1:
    =IF(B2=Sheet2!B2,"MATCH","NO MATCH")

    Unfortunately, when i apply this to emily is still comes back as a "match" instead of a "no match"

    Any help?

    What is in B2? Is it the name or the number? If the name, then maybe this:

    =IF(B2&C2=Sheet2!B2&Sheet2!C2,"MATCH","NO MATCH")

    Hi Ali!

    Thanks for the response. In b2, it is the number, so 25 for JON. B1 is the name

    OK. Can you attach the file? Sounds very odd.
