    Question Cross-Analyzing Lists

    Hi,
    I have two ginormous lists on two different excel documents. On the 1st document, column A is First Name, column B is Last name.
    On the 2nd document Column A is Last Name, First Name.
    How can I cross check to see if the people from Document 1 are on Document 2?
    Thank you!

    Hi,

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =MATCH(B1&" "&A1,['Second Document']Sheet1!A:A)


    If the names are found in the second document it will return the row number, if not it will return #N/A.

    In an unused column in the first document. e.g., in C1 and copy down,

    =MATCH(B1 & ", " & A1, ['Second Document']Sheet1!A:A, 0)
