Dear All,
I have a sheet Mdata and Bdata and third sheet is result sheet.
I want to cross check data in Mdata sheet and data in Bdata sheet and result in result sheet as true or false in B4 and so on.


for ex. Mdata sheet value i.e A4, B3, B4 MATCH WITH BDATA SHEET THEN MATCH TRUE OR FALSE VALUE IN IN RESULT SHEET B4 AND SO ON.

Please find the attached sheet for ref.

In order to avoid array formulas, first add a helper column to BData to combine the employee ID and date.... so in H2 enter formula:


=A2&"_"&TRIM(TEXT(B2,"dd/mm/yyyy"))


copied down.


Then in Result B4 enter formula:


=IFERROR(TRIM(INDEX(Bdata!$E:$E,MATCH($A4&"_"&TEXT (B$3,"dd/mm/yyyy"),Bdata!$H:$H,0)))=Mdata!B4,"")



Copied down and across the table


I added an IFERROR() to return a blank if the match is not found. You can replace the "" with FALSE if you want the word False returned instead.



Note: Careful when entering data that you don't have leading/trailing spaces. I've had to use the TRIM() function to remove them virtually.
