    Matching text in one cell to cells in another column.

    I have two sheets each with a column of street names. I'm trying to match street name cells in one sheet with any of the street names in the other sheet so that the matched entries on the first sheet can be added to the second sheet. Any suggestions?

    Hi

    With your street names in ColumnA of eatch sheet, in B1 of Sheet2, put this.

    =IF(COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$20,A1)>=1,"match","no match")
    Regards
