requesting excel formula to compare columns but going in order and skipping blanks
Trying to setup a formula in excel to compare 2 colums, sample data set below. Considering there will be blanks in column B and we must go in order
| Column A | Column B | Column C |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 3 | match |
| 4 | 3 | difference |
| 5 | blank | skipped |
| 6 | 5 | match |
| 6 | 5 | difference |
| 8 | 6 | match |
| blank | blank | skipped |
| blank | 8 | match |
Tried a few formulas but not giving the results required
=IF(B1="", "", IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1, IF(B:B<>"", B:B), 0)), "Match", "Difference"))
=IF(AND(A1<>"", B1<>"", A1=B1), "Match", IF(B1="", "", "Difference"))
=IF(A1<>"", IFERROR(IF(ISBLANK(B1), IFERROR(INDEX(B:B, MATCH(FALSE, ISBLANK(B:B), 0)), ""), IF(A1=B1, "Match", "Difference")), ""), "")
Solution
Use a nested if with COUNTIF
=IF(B1="","skipped",IF(COUNTIF(A:A,B1)>=COUNTIF($B$1:B1,B1),"match","difference"))
