let say the two columns are A and B then you can use


in C

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1, B:B, 0)), 0, MATCH(A1, B:B, 0))
This gives you the row number of column B, where the value of cell A1 was matched. if no match was found, then it gives you zero

in D you can have
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(B1, A:A, 0)), 0, MATCH(B1, A:A, 0))
Which will show row number of column A, where the value of cell B1 was matched, If no match was found, then 0

You would have to drag the formula to the last rows
0
