What formula can I use to mark the middle column with a True or False if the ticket number is found in the winning tickets? I tried using =IF(VLOOKUP(AF2641, 'Ticket Number'!$A:$A,1,FALSE),TRUE,FALSE) but ran into problems when other numbers were checked.

How would this change if I need to check all of the ticket numbers against each row of the winning tickets? In other words, I need to look at each row of winning tickets and parse through each ticket number to see if that ticket number is in that row of the winning tickets then do the same thing to each row?Put a True if that row contains at least one ticket number or False otherwise.

I keep ending up with #SPILL using this formula =IFERROR(IF(MATCH("*"&A2:A52&"*",'UMZ Contingencies'!AF2,0),TRUE,),FALSE)

I'm confused.
Where is the Ticket Number data?
Where is the Winning Tickets data?

You must specify which sheet and which column the data is in.

Please, use xl2bb tool to put a sample of your 2 sheets.
