Find Item in Other Column and Repeat
Col A Col B
abcd1234 mnop3456 efgh5678 qrst7890 ijkl9012 kkkk1111 mnop3456 qrst7890 Col A already exists and I want to take first item in Col B and search all of Col A for that item. If it does not exist, return either a "no" or a "0". If it does exist, I want to know where it is in Col A so I guess that I need the cell location returned. All returns can be returned to the next column over next to the item I am searching for Then move to the second item in Col B and search all of Col A again for that item with same results, Then move to third item in Col B and so forth. |

One way ..
In C1: =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B1,A:A,0)),"A"&MATCH(B1,A:A,0), "no") Copy down to last row of data in col B -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Walter" wrote: Col A Col B abcd1234 mnop3456 efgh5678 qrst7890 ijkl9012 kkkk1111 mnop3456 qrst7890 Col A already exists and I want to take first item in Col B and search all of Col A for that item.
