the following formula works for:<br />
column D<br />
=IF(AND(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C4<wbr />,B:B,1,FAL<wbr />SE),&quot;*&quot;)&lt;&gt;<wbr />&quot;*&quot;,IFERRO<wbr />R(VLOOKUP(<wbr />C4,A:A,1,F<wbr />ALSE),&quot;*&quot;)<wbr />&lt;&gt;&quot;*&quot;),&quot;Bo<wbr />th&quot;,&quot;&quot;)<br />
column E<br />
=IF(AND(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C4<wbr />,B:B,1,FAL<wbr />SE),&quot;*&quot;)=&quot;<wbr />*&quot;,IFERROR<wbr />(VLOOKUP(C<wbr />4,A:A,1,FA<wbr />LSE),&quot;*&quot;)&lt;<wbr />&gt;&quot;*&quot;),&quot;Bar<wbr />b's&quot;,&quot;&quot;)<br />
column F<br />
=IF(AND(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C4<wbr />,B:B,1,FAL<wbr />SE),&quot;*&quot;)&lt;&gt;<wbr />&quot;*&quot;,IFERRO<wbr />R(VLOOKUP(<wbr />C4,A:A,1,F<wbr />ALSE),&quot;*&quot;)<wbr />=&quot;*&quot;),&quot;Cat<wbr />hy's&quot;,&quot;&quot;)<br />
but i see that you have some values stored as text and some as numbers and this might not work, also not all the values are the same length correct?<br />

the following formula works for:
column D
=IF(AND(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C4,B:B,1,FALSE),"*")<>"*",IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C4,A:A,1,FALSE),"*")<>"*"),"Both","")
column E
=IF(AND(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C4,B:B,1,FALSE),"*")="*",IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C4,A:A,1,FALSE),"*")<>"*"),"Barb's","")
column F
=IF(AND(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C4,B:B,1,FALSE),"*")<>"*",IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C4,A:A,1,FALSE),"*")="*"),"Cathy's","")
but i see that you have some values stored as text and some as numbers and this might not work, also not all the values are the same length correct?
