    Unhappy Help!!! Vlookup or match function ??

    I'm an intern at an OEM and I need to automate some data-dump process as my next project. Basically this is what I have and this is what I must do:

    -I have 2 sheets. One contains a list of 2 products with its base fee listed in 1 column and another 4 corresponding columns indicating the additional taxes combined with the initial base fee (pretty irrelevant for now). The other sheet shows 180 locations for both products and the differing base fees. -I need to confirm that the base fee in Sheet 1 matches/corresponds to any values in Sheet 2 to properly audit.

    What I have done is create 2 new columns outlining each product and inputted something like "=ISNUMBER(MATCH(J26,Sheet2!L:L,0))" to indicate whether any of the base fees are found in Sheet 2. If so, it would yield TRUE or FALSE. However it is difficult to differentiate yields because some rows say FALSE for both product price potential given a row with a fee unique to one of the base fees in Sheet 2 (I checked, there's a match for each fee). I'm not sure how to manipulate the function so that I can only have one new column that confirms or denies the base fee columns presence in Sheet 2.

    I don't think VLOOKUP would be helpful as it searches vertically but who knows the magic of excel- there is a solution for everything.

    Please let me know what you think!
    THANKS

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    This is what I had before but it all deleted in the process of making the files smaller to attach here :/

    so I need to use this: http://imgur.com/a/ACL1T (SHEET 1)
    and figure out if the "Price" from the first pic matches with any values from SHEET 2 which is: http://imgur.com/a/96c3I

    This could work - =ISNUMBER(VLOOKUP($A2,Master!L:L,1,FALSE))

    I think this works now =IF(COUNTIF(Sheet2!K:L,Sheet1!J1)>0,"Found","Not Found")

    Thanks for both of your help! let me know if this can be tweaked for simplicity thanks )
