Try =IF(A200,IF(ISERROR(LOOKUP(C20,UPC!
B:B,FALSE))=TRUE,"",LOOKUP(C20,UPC!B:B,FALSE),"")) If you enter FALSE
it has to find an exact match. Then by adding an error checker llike
ISERROR will tell the formula if it found an exact match or not. I am
not sure if all parenthasis are in the right spot but this shoudl get
you close.
