Hey all,
I am working on comparing the contents of a cell against another column and cannot seem to get the formula to work. This is essentially what I am looking at. Column A will be a list of vendor companies from a specific LOB and column D is a list of vendors from the entire enterprise. I need a formula to return a match based on Cell A2 having a match somewhere in column D. Column A will have approx. 90,000 lines whereas column B will have about 450 lines. I have tried several formulas and none seem to work.

Here is what I think should be working. Either what am I doing incorrectly or what should I be doing differently? :confused:
Cell B2: =IF(A2=D:D,"TRUE","FALSE")

Company Name (LOB)Match?Company Name (Enterprise)
abcFALSEBAD
bcdTRUEBAG
cdeFALSEBCD
defFALSECAT
ghiTRUECAM
GHI

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
