Need help comparing & flagging email lists
Problem:
column1 of worksheet1 contains a list of bad email addresses column1 of worksheet2 contains a list of all email addresses on file i need to compare the list of bad addresses (worksheet1) to the list of all email addresses (worksheet2) and if there is an email address in the bad list (worksheet1) which is also in the all emails list(worksheet2), i need to flag it by putting "bad" in the next column of the all addresses list (worksheet2). i've been looking through this forum for the past few days and can't seem to find something that can do this. it looks like it should be simple but i've had no luck. any help would be appreciated. p.s. the all email address list (worksheet2) can be quite long...around 8000 rows.

Use VLOOKUP.
Something like =IF(NOT(ISNA(VLOOKUP(....))),"GOOD","BAD") For info on the VLOOKUP function: http://www.techonthenet.com/excel/formulas/vlookup.php Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit.

Need help comparing & flagging email lists
Can the VLOOKUP work across 2 different worksheets?

Need help comparing & flagging email lists
Ok so I'm not sure how to get it to work across different sheets so I
tried to just copy the data into 1 sheet and see if I can get the VLOOKUP to work...this is what I came up with: =IF(NOT(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A$1:A$7471,E$1:E$1307,1, FALSE))),"","Bad") I put all the email addresses on record in ColumnA and the bad ones in ColumnE but once I start pasting down, it doesn't flag all the matching ones...it flags some but not all. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. please help. Dave F wrote: Yes. -- Brevity is the soul of wit. " wrote: Can the VLOOKUP work across 2 different worksheets? Dave F wrote: Use VLOOKUP.

I'm not sure I understand....you say the formula is flagging some bad emails
but not all bad emails? Is it possible that some of the bad email addresses you have are not also in your list of good and bad email addresses? -- Brevity is the soul of wit.
