I have a text in one cell (J2) and have to compare it with text in a range of
cells (B2:B999) to return an expression if true. I have tried using the IF
function e.g
IF(J2=B2:B28,"Ordered","Not Ordered"), but it doesn't appear to like working
with a range of cell, works fine if you I point it to a single cell. Any help
would be appreciated.
