How to Match two Columns of Data in excel with different column lengths

[neuman43]

Excel Gurus!
This should be an easy one for you to tackle but its giving me some problems. In the attached document, I am trying to match column G with column E. All the data in column "E" Should be somewhere in column "G" I tried using IFNA with a match but it didn't work. If column "G" contains a supplier from column "E", I would like "F" to show it is a match.

let me know if this is clear,
and thank you very much.

In H2 and copy down, try this.

=IF(COUNTIF($E$3:$E$173,G3)>1,"MATCH","")

try..

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(G3,$E$3:$E$173,1,FALSE)),"","MATCH")

I am afraid, Fotis's formula will return "MATCH" only in in case the name exists 2 or more times

=IF(COUNTIF($E$3:$E$173,G3)>1,"MATCH","")

I am afraid too! As i said in another post, it's not a good day for me! Thnks for mention this.

I forgot an "=" in my formula.

=IF(COUNTIF($E$3:$E$173,G3)>=1,"MATCH","")
