Put this in E1 of sheet2:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(B1,'9-6-09'!B:B,0)),"not present","present")

then copy down.

Hope this helps.

Hi

I want to know if i can combine the following two formulas into one. *I have
two spreadsheets in the same work book. *I want column B of spreadsheet 2 to

=VLOOKUP(B1,'9-6-09'!B:B,1,FALSE)

=IF(E1='9-6-09'!B1,'9-6-09'!E1,"null")

Thanks
