Find Matching cells between 2 sheets

Sheet 1 – thousands of registrations over many years and is considered a big archive and cannot be edited.

Sheet 2 – a live sheet with registrations that is changing often, few entries and cannot be edited.

Sheet 3 – my sheet that I want the following data to feed to.


Sheet 1 has loads of archived entries. I would like to create a formula in sheet 3 that looks at sheet 1 and sheet 2 registrations and ticks a box in sheet 3 if any of the registrations match, additionally I want the formula to look at an “end date” column in sheet 1 and only look at the registrations in sheet 1 compared with sheet 2 that fall within 14 days of today based on the "end date" in sheet 1.

I have been using INDEX / MATCH functions to little success

Thank you

  • So Sheet 1 is named "Completed Checks Master"

    Sheet 2 is "FW Delay Report"

    Sheet 3 is a blank sheet with a column formated for checkboxes.

    Basically if there is an Aircraft (Column in Completed Checks Master) in "Completed Checks Master" that had an "End Date" in the past 14 days I want the formula in my blank sheet to look at the registrations listed in the AC column in FW Delay report and tick a box in my blank sheet if there are matches.
