Sorry about that...

Change the B to an A in the formula. Should read:

=if(isnumber(match(A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$1072,0)),"Bud geted","Not
Budgeted")

Hi Edward. First and foremost, thanks for your help! I tried this formula
and it didn't work properly either. It gave Not Budgeted for all accounts,
including those that were budgeted.

Yes. The Vlookup is not finding the lookup value in the specified
range (as you are expecting) and therefore giving a #N/A error. Just
stick an isnumber around a match function. Here's a similar formula.

=if(isnumber(match(A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$1072,0)),"Bud geted","Not
Budgeted")

Hi all!

What I am trying to do:
In Sheet 1, column A, I have a list of account numbers. In Sheet 2, Column
A, I have another list of account numbers. If an account in Sheet 1 column
A, is also in Sheet 2, column A, then the account is budgeted; If an account
in Sheet 1 column A is not in Sheet 2, column A, then the account is not
budgeted.

I'm not the cleverest with the formulas, and this is what I have tried and
am not getting the best results:
=IF(A2=(VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$1072,1,FALSE))," Budgeted","Acct Not
Budgeted")

It is working for accounts that are budgeted, but for accounts that aren't
budgeted, I'm getting #N/A. I assume this has something to do with the
VLookup.

Any help as to where I'm going wrong would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.- Hide quoted text -
