You can't "pop up" a message without resorting to macros (VBA code), and for
the small number of codes you are talking about, that seems like overkill.

Perhaps you should simply use conditional formatting to highlight the codes
that are not in the list

Thanks Duke, but I also need to display the value, which is not present in
the list.
for example , I have B1 and D1 values and I am crosschecking it with the
list values ((A1,G1,B1,D1), since A1, G1 not in the list, it should popup a
massage with values
A1, G1 should ne present in the list.

Assuming your long list is in E1:E500, and the code you want to check is in
B1, use

=if(countif($e$1:$e$500,B1)=0,"Not in List","")

copy it down for all the vlaues you want to test
