Search a column for a value and return T or F
I am trying to make a list that searches another column for a value and then
returns True if the value is found. What I have only recognizes the value if it is found in the same row. My formula reads =IF(A2:A1000=AD2,"True","False") Column AD contains a list a values that are searched for. |

Use COUNTIF:
=IF(COUNTIF(E1:E11,A1)0,"TRUE","FALSE") -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200765 "CraigMacE" wrote: I am trying to make a list that searches another column for a value and then returns True if the value is found.

Search a column for a value and return T or F
Try this:
=IF(COUNT(MATCH(AD2,A2:A1000,0)),"True","False") or this: =IF(COUNTIF(A2:A1000,AD2),"True","False") or maybe this: =COUNTIF(A2:A1000,AD2)0 Does that help? -------------------------- Regards, Ron Microsoft MVP (Excel) (XL2003, Win XP) "CraigMacE" wrote in message ...
