looking for a value in a collumn

Here is an example of the current sheet

Type | Site
cars | Automart.com
cars | MSN Autos
trucks| MSN Autos
food | kraft.com
trucks | fordtrucks.com

I would like to create a new collumn titled match. The function would
match if a site included both types (cars and trucks). Could I have
some help with this function?

Type | Site | Match
cars | Automart.com | N
cars | MSN Autos | Y
cars | ford.com | Y
trucks| MSN Autos | Y
food | kraft.com | N
trucks | ford.com | Y
 
How about

=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--($B$2:$B$7 = B2),--($A$2:$A$7 =
"cars"))+SUMPRODUCT(--($B$2:$B$7 = B2),--($A$2:$A$7 = "trucks"))=2,"Y","N")
 
In the site column, can the sites occur more than once per type of vehicle,
meaning if there is one MSN Autos for cars and one for trucks, that would
total 2 thus return yes?

=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(($A$2:$A$200="cars")+($A$2:$A$200="trucks")>0),--($B$2:$B$200=B2))=2,"Yes","N")

where B2 is the first dot com site, copy down as long as needed

Yes sites can occur more then once.

Example

Type | Site | Match
cars | Automart.com | N
cars | MSN Autos | Y
cars | ford.com | Y
trucks| MSN Autos | Y
food | kraft.com | N
trucks | ford.com | Y
cars | ford.com | Y
cars | ford.com | Y
cars | ford.com | Y
cars | Automart.com | N

Also Sites should be Y even if for types that are not cars and truck if
the above condition is true.

food | kraft.com | N
food | ford.com | Y
food | ford.com | Y
food | ford.com | Y
food | ford.com | Y
food | Automart.com | N

Thanks for the help but it is still not what I need.
 
Then this should work copied down

=IF(AND(SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$200="cars"),--($B$2:$B$200=B2))>0,SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$200="trucks"),--($B$2:$B$200=B2))>0),"Yes","No")
