Thanks David,
Is there any way we can move this on to incorporate a lookup formula, so it
would equal Lookup for example, If A1:A3 contains any of the cells in C1:C100
equal the corresponding code in D1:D100.
Thank you

Hi Roger, I want a formula, say in D3, to equal C2 if any of the cells A1,
A2
or A3 contain C1

Hi Fiona

Lookup cannot work in this way.
Can you just describe exactly what you want to achieve e.g.
If the value in C1 is found in column A or in Column B, then place the
value
from C2 in column D.

Thanks Roger, sorry if I was a bit unclear, the formula I want to work
is
=LOOKUP(A1:A3,C1:C3,D1:D3)
As i want the formula to check 3 cells instead of 1

Not sure I fully understand your question, but does the following do
what
you want.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C1,A1:A3&B1:B3)),C2,"")

Hi, I am trying to get a lookup formula to read 3 cells in one row,
then
compare it to my look up list.

e.g, A1 is South A2 is East, A3 is London, B1 is London, B2 is
England,
B3
is UK

In C1 I have London and C2 I have LOND.

I want my formula to equal C2 if any of the cells A1 - A3 equal C1,
and
so
on.
