Hello, I am currently using the following formula and it is causing massive lag on my sheet.

=IF(ISNUMBER(XMATCH($A3&C$1,'LIST'!$A:$A&'LIST'!$B:$B)),"X","")

It becomes basically unusable to the point where i turned auto calculations off. Is there a better cleaner way to reach my desired result that wont slow down the file?

Here is an example of the data that I have. This has been shortened, the true table has roughly 1000 each of TYPE and COLOR that will continue to grow. I think the large volume of IF statements is cause of the slowdown.

This would be the desired result

Any helpwith this would be greatly appreciated!!
 
Yeah, sounds like it might be better served in a database program, like Access or SQL, than Excel.

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
