I need help with an "if" formula. I have a spreadsheet that in column a it
lists the employee's name and then in column b it lists the date the
employee
was at work. On a different spreadsheet i have listed a row of scheduled
days
of work. I would like to have on this spreadsheet to make an X if the
employee has that date next to the name. How can I do this?
