Hi Narunfca,
Please see the attached file.
The formula below works great - but now I see that I need to add an additional factor, to check if the date in file 2 is within the date range in file 1 - and then to return a reply of matched or not.
=IFERROR(IF(F3=INDEX('File 2 '!$C$2:$C$16,MATCH(A3&TEXT(C3,"dd-mm-yyyy"),'File 2 '!$A$2:$A$16&TEXT('File 2 '!$B$2:$B$16,"DD-MM-YYYY"),0)),"MATCHED","NOT MATCHED"),"NOT FOUND")
There are 3 rows in the example, For the test purpose , 2 should provide a positive result and 1 should give no match.
Thank you
