hi

I am trying to match data i have in two files to see if they match based on some conditions

Below is data 1 and data 1

Data 1

NAMEPOSTCODEID
Alan78617786178145

<tbody>
</tbody>

data 2
NamePostcodeID
AL(7861)(7786178145)

<tbody>
</tbody>


I am trying to create a formula that will match the first 2 characters of Name of data 2 to Name of data 1 and match the numbers only of postcode from data 2 to postcode data 1, match numbers only of ID in data 2 to ID of data 1 , AND if it all matches return match if no return not match

can this be done?

thank you for any help

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Maybe something like this:
