Thanks! Mike,
I appreciate your getting me closer to my goal! Now if I find A6 contained
in my list of variables, in B6-B130, and put the answer "x" in AB6, then, I
want to try to find A7 from that same list, B6-B130, and if it IS there, put
the x in AB7 or leave it blank if it is not. Then so on...But I do not
understand the part of the formula that will put the answer in the column I
want - It is still going into the row of the column B that I find it on and
not the row and column that I want it to go in. Please forgive the beginner
semantics!
Thanks,
Debbie

Hi, Try this,

Finding a word from list in column B6-b130 to match word in A6. If there is a
match then place "x" in column AB6 - No match leave AB6 Blank.
then right on down the line:

=IF(B6=A$6,"x","")

Put this formula in AB6 and drag down to AB130

You other questions can be solved with this formula with the ranges modified.

And so on.
Help new on job and short time! Thx anyone!

Debbie,

I assume you have 2 lists of data one in col A and 1 in col B and you
want to check to see if the data in A appears also in B.

A quick and not very pretty way is in col C put this formula in.

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A6,$B$6:$B$130,1,FALSE))=TRUE,"", IF(VLOOKUP(A6,$B$6:$B
$130,1,FALSE)=A6,"x",""))

There are other ways
