    Finding duplicates between data ranges based on 2 columns match

    Hi, last time I had an issue I could solve by myself I posted it here and someone was kind enough to solve it in the first try... so I thought I should give it another go.

    I have 2 sets of data composed of three columns Company, Contact, and Grade. I want to check which match between the 2 sets of data based solely on Company and Contact. In the file attached I ilustrate the following examples:

    DATA SET 1:
    Company Contact Grade
    COLA COMPANY John Adams 4
    Funeral Home Philip Morris 4
    Top University Frank Allan 5
    Food Inc Not Available 4
    Chemical Company Not Available 4
    National TV Conglomerate Jules Williams 4
    Grocery Stores Group Jack Daniels 5
    Food Inc Alison Sallinger 5


    DATA SET 2:
    Company Contact Grade
    National Bank Rene Green 5
    Insurance Company Not Available 4
    National TV Conglomerate Jules Williams 5
    National TV Conglomerate Jack Geller 5
    COLA COMPANY John Adams 4
    Insurance Company Erick Masterson 4
    National Newspaper Ivan Johnson 4


    In these you can identify that only 2 have a duplicate:
    COLA COMPANY John Adams
    National TV Conglomerate Jules Williams


    As you can see the grade is of no importance and should not be taken into account, all I care about is that the same guy from a specific company appears in both sets of data. A perfect way for me to ilustrate this would be -as appears in the file- with a boolean flag, a 1 if said registry matches another in the other set and a 0 if it doesn't; that way I can apply conditional formatting on the whole row.

    Hope you can help me with this too!

    Thanks in advance.
