Is there a way to set up excel to accurately predict,
which of the next 30 randomly generated records
in e1015:e1044 will match the list of records in r4:r76,
based upon the matching record results history from
the 2 sources within t4:t1003. The matching records
in this range are equal to "Y" and no match equal "N".

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
for an example from the analysis of the Y and N records in t4:t1003,
the predicted results are recorded in e1015:e1044 as follows for
the 30 new records:

N,N,N,N,Y,Y,N,N,N,N,N,N,Y,N,Y,Y,Y,N,N,Y,Y,N,N,N,Y,N,Y,N,N,N

Given all usual definitions of predict and random, no. This is why:

1) Lotteries work
2) Lottery prediction schemes don't, and
3) Given the existence of people who perversely refuse to believe either (1) or (2), lotteries have been called a tax on those bad at maths.
