    looking for a value in a collumn

    Here is an example of the current sheet

    Type | Site
    cars | Automart.com
    cars | MSN Autos
    trucks| MSN Autos
    food | kraft.com
    trucks | fordtrucks.com

    I would like to create a new collumn titled match. The function would match if a site included both types (cars and trucks). Could I have some help with this function?

    Type | Site | Match
    cars | Automart.com | N
    cars | MSN Autos | Y
    cars | ford.com | Y
    trucks| MSN Autos | Y
    food | kraft.com | N
    trucks | ford.com | Y

    RE: looking for a value in a collumn

    How about

    =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--($B$2:$B$7 = B2),--($A$2:$A$7 =
    "cars"))+SUMPRODUCT(--($B$2:$B$7 = B2),--($A$2:$A$7 = "trucks"))=2,"Y","N")

    In the site column, can the sites occur more than once per type of vehicle,
    meaning if there is one MSN Autos for cars and one for trucks, that would
    total 2 thus return yes?

    =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(($A$2:$A$200="cars")+($A$2:$A$200="trucks")>0),--($B$2:$B$200=B2))=2,"Yes","N")

    where B2 is the first dot com site, copy down as long as needed

    Yes sites can occur more then once.

    Example

    Type | Site | Match
    cars | Automart.com | N
    cars | MSN Autos | Y
    cars | ford.com | Y
    trucks| MSN Autos | Y
    food | kraft.com | N
    trucks | ford.com | Y
    cars | ford.com | Y
    cars | ford.com | Y
    cars | ford.com | Y
    cars | Automart.com | N

    Also Sites should be Y even if for types that are not cars and truck if the above condition is true.

    food | kraft.com | N
    food | ford.com | Y
    food | ford.com | Y
    food | ford.com | Y
    food | ford.com | Y
    food | Automart.com | N

    Thanks for the help but it is still not what I need.

    Then this should work copied down

    =IF(AND(SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$200="cars"),--($B$2:$B$200=B2))>0,SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$200="trucks"),--($B$2:$B$200=B2))>0),"Yes","No")
