It's working now, but one last question.
If i have in B5 "adrian" and in the "planning" tab or another tab, i
have"adrian" too, can the formula show "OK"? I don't wont the formula to show
the next cell, only to say to me that "adrian it's in "planning". Or "NO" if
the formula can't find that name.

Thanks allot!

Maybe you need to format them, so instead of A1 try TEXT(A1,"mm.dd.yy")

Hy, i have a small problem. some tab names are "05.01.2009 ;

Hy, i have this formula :
=IF(B5<"",IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($B5,PLANNING!$B$4:$G$59 3,6,FALSE)),"??",VLOOKUP($B5,PLANNING!$B$4:$G$593, 6,FALSE)),"")

"PLANNING" = an tab name.
I need something like this ( "A1" instead of "PLANNING":
=IF(B5<"",IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($B5,A1!$B$4:$G$593,6,FA LSE)),"??",VLOOKUP($B5,A1!$B$4:$G$593,6,FALSE)),"" )

"A1" = cell
And in "A1" to write an tab name. (planning ; monday ; tuesday...etc)
"A1" content to replace "PLANNING" from formula.


Thanks in advance!
