Can anyone help me with this. One of my sheets has info on student ID and the class they were in last year. The new sheet has the student id and the class they are enrolled in this year. If they both don't match it should say bad. Sheet two should look like the table below. The range is H2:P1854, H is the ID Column, P is the class Column(for both sheets)

How about
=IF(VLOOKUP(H2,'2018 Classes Roster'!$H$2:$P$1854,6,FALSE)<>P2,"bad","good")

Thanks for the fast response! When I change the class from science to math, it's still returning good.

How about
=IF(VLOOKUP(H2,'2018 Classes Roster'!$H$2:$P$1854,9,FALSE)<>P2,"bad","good")

i made a typo at the start, P is not the class class, M is the class column,

Do i have to select the entire table from the sheet? or can i just select the needed columns??

You can do it like
=IF(VLOOKUP(H2,'2018 Classes Roster'!$H$2:$M$1854,6,FALSE)<>P2,"bad","good")

As long as the last row of the lookup table is row 1854 or less.

This the first sheet
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]

You have helped me create a formula that would identify a mismatch happening.

</tbody>[/TABLE]

If it shows up bad, i want a formula that would look up another sheet( that looks like below). If fall course was A&S 012 and if then Spring class is A&S 013 it should return good. Similarly for the A&S 045, if the spring course id is any of the 3 in the last row and the fall id was A&S 055, it should return good.

As this is now a totally different question, you will need to start a new thread, thanks.
