Default Lookup across columns

Hi Mark,

this could be quite slow unless the data in your second sheet is sorted
and sequential from column A to E. Is it, or can it be?

Hello,

I have a column of text values and on another sheet I have five columns of
text values (there are five columns because there are over 300000 records). I
need a formula that will tell me if the text value in the first list appears
anywhere in the five column list.

Thanks in advance,
