You can use Match with the optional thir argument set to False. Wrap it
within an Isnumber and you get a True (exists) or False (it doesn't) return:
=ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1,B1:J1,0))
A1 contains 3 say, B1:J1 the range you are searching
Hope this helps!

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create a tool that can help me with Sudoku (I'm getting
bored of charting the possible values of a given cell).
To do this, I must find out whether a given value (for example 3)
exists in a specified range. I can't find a function that does this
for me.
In my perfect world, it would work something like this:
=if((A1:A5,B3:B7) in 5, true, false)
All ideas appreciated. :)
