I'm trying to figure out how to properly input a formula that will match the first 7 characters of C2, with the first 7 characters of A2.

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(LEFT(C2,7..........),true,false)

Not sure if I'm on the right track.

I'm confused with using "ISNUMBER" because I'm not looking for a number per-say... It can be numbers and/or characters. IDEAS?

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
