Tricks

Trick One: 
In Excel, Compare two columns to identify matches: 
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,$D$1:$D$4,0)),"No Match",A1)
First instance of A1 = first cell in the first column you're looking at
,$D$1:$D$4 = Change to the range of the 2nd column you're looking at
Second instance of A1 = Value you want shown in the audit column
in the example below, the Match Found column is populated with the formula above:
