    Compare Colums

    Hi, I have a worksheet that has two lists of MAC address’s I would like a formula for excel to compare mac address’s in column A to column B and flag up any which are not in column A

    I.E

    Colum A Column B In List A
    00:EE:EE:EE:41 00:EE:EE:EE:12 Match Found
    00:EE:EE:EE:12 00:EE:EE:EE:00 Match Not Found
    00:EE:EE:EE:13 00:EE:EE:EE:13 Match Found
    00:EE:EE:EE:11 00:EE:EE:EE:11 Match Found

    Any Idea's as to the best way to do this

    Thank You

    Re: Compare Colums

    try =COUNTIF(A:A, B1)>0 this will give you TRUE/FALSE

    For Match foun add one more IF statement

    =IF(COUNTIF(A:A, B1)>0, "Match found", "Match not found")
    Never use Merged Cells in Excel

    Is there any way to have it return N/A if there is no MAC address In List A

    I.E My Setup
    List A Fomula to compare List A with list B
    IP Address: Device Name: Mac Address: MAC Check:
    192.168.1.1 Dlink 00:11:11:111:11:11 Match Found
    192.168.1.2 No Device N/A

    Thanks

    Not that it matters much, but you can do without the >0 condition

    =IF(COUNTIF(A:A, B1), "Match found", "Match not found")

    Hi
    If first colomn is in A5 and 2nd is in B5 then

    May be this one

    C5:
    =IF(ISERROR(B5=VLOOKUP(B5,A5:A8,1,FALSE)),"Not matched","Matched")
    Regards
