is it possible to use ISNUMBER and MATCH on two adjacent columns.

I want to use ISNUMBER and MATCH to return true i the formula finds A,B,C,D,,F,G,H,I, or J in either of the ranges.

Range A1:A5 house A,B,C,D,and E

Range B1:B5 houses F,G,H,I,and J

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
you can do the match twice like this, with number to match in C1

Code:
=ISNUMBER(IFERROR(MATCH(C1,A1:A5,0),IFERROR(MATCH(C1,B1:B5,0),"")))
