How to Create an Automation Workflow to Recognize Addresses

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to create a workflow where I can import randomized addresses into one column and receive an alert if one of those addresses matches the randomized addresses in a different column.

I haven't had luck trying to work it out.

Should I take a different approach, like the "COUNTIF" function? Is there a way I can tell it to count if Column A matches what I import into Column B?

Thank you,

Tyler

    @Andrée,

    I got some help later in the day from someone here and we were able to figure out how to make that happen. The approach we took was to use the "VLOOKUP" function with my second list of addresses on a second Sheet. Now I am able to paste in a list of addresses to see if any of them match the first reference.

    Thank you for responding! I didn't see how to remove my comment so it's still up :/
