Ok, chaps picture this:
a pratt sat at his pc, with a red face and higher than normal temperature,
as he trys to find a way to apologise for wasting your time having used the
formula you devised and it works. The error causing non listed names to
appear was my own in that they were appearing in the list because i hadn't
filtered them properly and that's why they were always appearing with your
formulae.
My sincere apologies for not checking my own work before querying yours.

I understood that you wanted in Col C the Content of Col I only if It (the
content of Col I) could be matched with the content of Col O.
Sorry,

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$50,MATCH(I2,$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
Chris

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


"Tester" wrote in message

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
