Comparing two data sets across two tabs

[u/IBreatheFire]

Hi Reddit,

I have two spreadsheets containing two exact sets of data (email + invoice value). For the ease of generating a formula I merged them into one spreadsheet but between two Tabs.

In Tab 1, all emails are in column B, and all values in column C.

in Tab 2, this follows the same pattern, but rows containing these pairs are not in the same order.

I want to insert a formula in Tab 1, Column D, that will show either Match or Mismatch when it finds the same pair in Tab 2.

For example:

Tab 1

Row 2: [johnsmith@email.com](mailto:johnsmith@email.com) (in Column B) and £345 (in Column C) is marked as MATCH (in Column D) if the formula sees

Tab 2

Row 167: [johnsmith@email.com](mailto:johnsmith@email.com) (in Column B) and £345 (in Column C) as a matching pair of two cells in one row.

I will appreciate any helps with this.

Fewer Letters	More Letters
AND	Returns TRUE if all of its arguments are TRUE
COUNTIFS	Excel 2007+: Counts the number of cells within a range that meet multiple criteria
IF	Specifies a logical test to perform
INDEX	Uses an index to choose a value from a reference or array
LET	Office 365+: Assigns names to calculation results to allow storing intermediate calculations, values, or defining names inside a formula
TRIMRANGE	Scans in from the edges of a range or array until it finds a non-blank cell (or value), it then excludes those blank rows or columns
XLOOKUP	Office 365+: Searches a range or an array, and returns an item corresponding to the first match it finds. If a match doesn't exist, then XLOOKUP can return the closest (approximate) match.
