Hi,

I'm doing my first post here. Please excuse me if this is silly.

I have col A and col B as text fields. In col C I have a query list. I'm trying to find if the text values in both col A and col B exist anywhere in col C and then return a true or a false. Please see the attached sheet. Thank you gurus.
