    Find Match Between a Column Against Multiple Columns

    I would like to find a match between Column C with multiple columns.

    E.g. First digit of Column C against Column D and if there is a match, do nothing. If there isn't, highlight a next row value of respective column.

    @ Column A , I have compare cell by cell value. Please suggest me how to make it in one formula or func.

    Re: Find Match Between a Column Against Multiple Columns

    A few observations...

    1. You dont need to include TRUE/FALSE in this formula, in fact, you dont even need the IF() statement...
    =IF(LEFT(C3,1)=D3,TRUE,FALSE)
    You can just use...
    =LEFT(C3,1)=D3

    2. what exactly are you trying to find? If you have included sample answers there, I cannot see them
    3. Some of your numbers are actually text that just looks like a number (look for the small green triangle in the cells)

    Maybe try this, copied down?
    =MATCH(--LEFT(C3,1),D3:M3,0)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: Find Match Between a Column Against Multiple Columns

    Actually Column A is just for testing purpose. Ideal outcome is, insert a value in Column C(will always be 2digits).

    Would like to match between 1st digit of Column C vs ColumnD.

    e.g

    Column C:3 vs D:3 ( 9 : 3 )
    C:4 vs D:4 ( 6 : 0 )
    C:5 vs D:5 ( 5 : 5 )
    so on.

    As long there is a return of matching from the comparison, will do nothing.

    I have manually compared 1 digit of Column C with D,E,F,G,.. ,and only with G column, there isn't any match, so I would like to get the value of Column G's next row value(highlighted 8 D24).

    forgot to say. The comparison will happen automatically after entering the value in C column.
