A formula is pretty easy. Where are you stuck?

Here the ID value in excel 1 and system ID value in another excel are not in same order and it gets stored randomly.

Without a sample of your data and formila, it is impossible to help you.

I accomplished it by using simple Vlookup command by copying the column values of 2 different excels in same excel with different sheets.

=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A:B,1,FALSE)

=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE)

=EXACT(A2,C2)

=EXACT(B2,D2)
