Copy and paste here to show us the exact formula you have in the cell in
Column C which contains a Value that should not be displaying a value.

I thank both of you for the effort and help you are trying to give me but
both your formulas give me an answer every time, i.e. the content of the
column even if it doesn't match any cell in the range to check.

I have not used ISNA before, can it be used without a column number?

Bob: You used 10 as the column # in the ISNA portion
And 0 as the column in the Alternate portion.

Since our Index-table is ONLY ONE Column maybe neither actual numbers
Matter. Can you confirm?

Try an exact match then

=IF(ISNA(INDEX($O$2:$O$50,MATCH(I2,$O$2:$O$50,0),1 0)),"",(INDEX($O$2:$O$50,M
ATCH(I2,$O$2:$O$50,0),0)))

Thanks for this, I've tried it but only get the content of the cell in
column I, regardless of whether it matches a value in the range O2:O50
or
not.

There might be a better (and shorter) way, but in your cell C2 enter:


=IF(ISNA(INDEX($O$2:$O$50,MATCH(I2,$O$2:$O$50,0),1 )),"",(INDEX($O$2:$O$50,MA
TCH(I2,$O$2:$O$50,0),1)))
<< All in one cell

And Copy down to C50;

Oops sorry, Column O is in Spreadsheet A of Workbook 2
so i want something like this
If cell value in column I equals any one cell in column range O2:O50
then
show cell value in column I, otherwise leave blank
I have sorted the range alphabetically if that helps
Thanks for looking

Your Column O -- In what Sheet and Workbook is it in?

Hi. Spreadsheet A in Workbook 2 has various columns which match
the
cell
values in Spreadsheet H of Workbook 1.
Column O is a control list of Suppliers names so spelling etc is
exact
throughout.
On Spreadsheet A in Workbook 2 I have inserted a column C to
check
the
value
of Column I against Column O. If it finds a match in the list, I
want
it
to
show the name but if not, I want it to remain blank.

Could someone help with this formula please?
TIA
Chris
