Hey all,

FormR kindly helped with combining two formulas together:

=IF(AND(INDEX(T:T,MATCH(E5,AF:$AF,0))=G5,INDEX(BJ:BJ,MATCH(E5,AF:$AF,0))=H5),"Yes","No")

This formula is replicated in Rows until 1500 i.e.

=IF(AND(INDEX(T:T,MATCH(E6,AF:$AF,0))=G6,INDEX(BJ:BJ,MATCH(E6,AF:$AF,0))=H6),"Yes","No")

etc etc

The issue that I'm now facing is that on occasions the data inputted in Column E and AF may be the same in multiple cells i.e. Smith, John. As a result it's often incorrectly returning a 'No' as it's picking up the first Smith, John in AF. What I want it do if possible is to continue searching for the exact match (T:T & G5, BJ:BJ & H5 etc) and return a 'No' then if it's not found.

Hopefully that makes sense

Can provide more info if needed.

Cheers for any help people can provide!

Matt
