I am currently using INDEX MATCH to look up values across multiple sheets. However in the data it needs to compare there can be multiple iterations of the look up value. This is currently causing me issues.

To explain - we are tracking whether post numbers match the VERIFIED posts on the Prevalidated Rotation Tab (this is all dummy data) There can be multiple instances of this post BUT the Post number and the Site and Sequence Number have to MATCH. Currently using the formulas below as soon as the ones in yellow are added most of my posts dont match even though they are all on the prevalidated tab
So I think I need it to just look up IF a post exists in the data not WHERE

Prevalidated rotation formulas
concat 2 = =CONCAT([@[Seq No.]],[@Site],[@[National Post Number]])

Rotation 1 formulas
concat 2concatfound on prevalidated grid
=PVR[@[concat 2]]=CONCAT([@[Seq No.]],[@Site],[@[National Post Number]])=IF([@[concat 2]]=[@concat],"post match","posts don’t match")

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Can you not use a simple MATCH in column C?
IF(MATCH(Bx,'Prevalidated Rotation Sheet'!A:A, 0), "post match","posts don’t match")
