I am running a data validation between 2 systems so I downloaded the data into two different tabs used CONCATENATE to combine location, reference number, item and quantity to create a unique key value. When I run the COUNTIF looking for the key in the target sheet it returns a value of 1 but when I filtered and searched for that value in the target sheet it cannot find it. We changed to a VLOOKUP and got the expected results but still cannot figure out why the COUNTIF failed and why it thinks it found the KEY in the target sheet.
