Would appreciate if you people can help me, as am not that excel expert :(
My argument is like this-
Column:
1. 2. 3. 4.
1 A 2 B
2 B 5 D
3 C 1 A
4 B 1 F
5 D 5 D
6 E 4 B
want to see if Value of column no. 1 and corresponding value of column no 2 is equal to value of column no. 3 with same corresponding value in column 4 then it should be true, else false.
eg. if column no 1 has value 4 with corresponding value B which is there in column 3 as 4 with corresponding value B so argument should be true.
However there might be repetition of same values also.
can any1 help me to solve this. Am looking for excel formula
@Mazzaropi
sorry its not bringing what I want.
Thank you very much for your kind efforts.
My condition is like if value from column 1 is equal to value of column 3 (which is at any position) and corresponding value of column 2 is equal to value of column 4 (which may be at any position) then it should be true else false.
Thank you for your prompt reply..! :)
However still there are some issue.
at some times its giving correct result but some time no :(
here it is
1 A 4 B FALSE
2 B 5 D FALSE
3 C 6 A FALSE
4 B 7 F TRUE
5 D 8 F TRUE
6 E 9 B FALSE
7 F
8 D
9 B
10 A
here 4 has B on both side but result is showing as false. It should be true.
Same for 5D also. And showing wrong result for 8D and 8F as argument should be false and not true.
I believe that you're having a wrong conclusion.
Your requirement:
"...My condition is like if value from column 1 is equal to value of column 3 (which is at any position) and corresponding value of column 2 is equal to value of column 4 (which may be at any position) then it should be true else false. ..."
The columns A and B are the arguments.(Main columns)
The columns C and D are only a reference or data bank.
The result TRUE or FALSE refers to your main columns of search.
Let's see: 1 A 4 B FALSE - It means that 1 and A don't exists at same time at the right side of table.
2 B 5 D FALSE - It means that 2 and B don't exists at same time at the right side of table.
3 C 6 A FALSE - It means that 3 and C don't exists at same time at the right side of table.
4 B 7 F TRUE.. - It means that 4 and B exists at same time at the right side of table.
5 D 8 F TRUE.. - It means that 5 and D exists at same time at the right side of table.
6 E 9 B FALSE - It means that 6 and E don't exists at same time at the right side of table.
7 F.......TRUE.. - It means that 7 and F exists at same time at the right side of table.
8 D.......TRUE.. - It means that 8 and D exists at same time at the right side of table.
9 B.......TRUE.. - It means that 9 and B exists at same time at the right side of table.
10 A.....FALSE - It means that 10 and A don't exists at same time at the right side of table.
Well, the formula does exactly what you asked for.
BUT....pay attention: Maybe you're looking for another thing.
Are you looking for, 1 and B, at the right side of the table, as your requirement, or are you looking for 1B?
To make things easier, I did an example for you.

If this isn't what you want, try to put the desirable result at the file manually and please, explain why this is the result.
I keep waiting for your answer.
Have a nice day.

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4
1 A 4 B
2 B 5 D
3 C 1 A 4 B 7 F
5 D 8 F 6 E 9 B
7 F
8 D 9 B
now in above example,
in column-1
Value 1 has corresponding value A which is there in column-3(position no.4) and column -4, so formula should turn to true if not then false.
eg. in column-1 value 8 has corresponding value D in column-2 which is not as corresponding value in column-3 for value 8 is F, so it should be false.
The Formula:
=SEERRO(PROCV(A3;$C$3:$D$18;2;0)=B3;FALSO())
This function searchs for A3 (=1) - a number
at a $C$3:$D$18 - your data bank - a number
and brings the correspondent value found at second column. - a letter (=A)
=SEERRO(PROCV(A3;$C$3:$D$18;2;0)=B3;FALSO())
Then it compares the above result (=A) with the correspondent value of A3, that's B3, in this case (A).
As both, result of search (A) and B3 (A) are equal the answer is TRUE.
If not the answer will be FALSE.
I know it's very simple, but it works.
Have a nice weekend.
