    Red face Conditional or VLookup?

    I need to create a formula that will give me True or False if text in a cell matches any cells in a range.

    For example:

    Column A and B have text:

    Account
    Date
    Name
    Species

    Column C has other and sometimes matching text:
    Name
    Deal

    What formula would I use to find out if all cells in Columns A and B are represented in Column C?

    Try:

    =OR(Isnumber(Match(C1,A:A,0)),Isnumber(Match(C1,B:B,0)))

    copied down
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
