</tbody>[/TABLE]


Basically in another table I have the following:
[TABLE="width: 59"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Column 1
[/TD]
[TD]Column 2
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]MD
[/TD]
[TD]PA
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]VA
[/TD]
[TD]PA
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]TX
[/TD]
[TD]PA
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

What I want to do is lookup the value in Column 1 on my 2nd table, "MD", and check the 1st table above to see if that value is found under the column that has the header of my corresponding value in Column 2 of my 2nd table, "PA", and return a TRUE or FALSE if MD is found under the "PA" column in my above table.

Can anyone help me put that into a formula?

Examples with the above 2nd table, the results of the formula for the 3 rows of data would be True, True, and False.
 
Sort by date Sort by votes
Select the area the upper table occupies including the headers and name the selection as Table via the Name Box.

Let A2 house MD and B2 PA.

In C2 enter and copy down:

=ISNUMBER(MATCH($A2,INDEX(Table,0,MATCH($B2,INDEX(Table,1,0),0)),0))
