blog.
I have to excel workbooks with customer details. I want to check for common entities to both workbooks. I want to check the phoen numbers (they are listed in 3 columns at each workbook). So, my issue is to make excel check each number from 3 columns in Workbook A, and check them with the numbers in 3 columns in workbook b. If a match is found I want TRUE to be returned. Otherwise FALSE
