    Unhappy Searching data ranges

    What excel formula can i use to check if there is a value in data range 1, and if there is, see if there is a different value in data range 2.

    For example: if there are 4 different scan points and 4 different items being scanned, is there a formula to check and see if there is item 2 at scan point 3?

    I have tried several different methods from AND and OR functions and a COUNTIF function, but there are always false positives. Im missing something...

    Now I know the data ranges are arbitrary on this forum but here are some of the formulas I have tried:

    =AND((COUNTIF($C$48:$C$1550,$D$1766)), (OR((COUNTIF($D$48:$D$1550,$B$1766)), (COUNTIF($E$48:$E$1550,$B$1766)))))

    =AND((OR(($C$48:$C$1550)="C7")), (OR(((OR(($D$48:$D$1550)=$K$5))),(OR(($E$48:$E$1550)=$K$5)))))

    There are 2 columns of product numbers (types) and 1 column of scan points. Any help would be appreciated.

    G'day and welcome to the forum,

    I think it will be best to upload an example of a before and after results and any other variable of your challenge.

    To attach a file, Click on Go Advanced then push the button with the paperclip (or scroll down to the Manage Attachments button), browse to the required file, and then push the Upload button.
    Have I made you happy ??? If yes, please make me happy by pressing the http://www.excelforum.com/images/buttons/reputation-40b.png Add Reputation button in my post.
    Please don't forget to do the same to other contributors of this forum.

    Thanks
    I don't void confusion, I create it
