I am trying to see if a policy number (ex. ml001122) appears on a sheet. I
have a list of about 300, and want to know if they appear on another sheet and how many times they appear. I have tried using the formula =COUNTIF('SHEET1'!A1:'SHEET1'!A2500,A1) but it keeps coming back as 0. The first sheet has more than two thousand rows, and on the second sheet I have about 300 policy numbers to check. I need to see if those numbers are on the first sheet. Thanks for any help |

Hi jason, The problem was in the formula
try =COUNTIF('SHEET1'!A1:!A2500,A1) "Jason K" wrote: I am trying to see if a policy number (ex. ml001122) appears on a sheet.

The formula should be
=COUNTIF('SHEET1!A1:A,A1), "Jason K" wrote: I am trying to see if a policy number (ex. ml001122) appears on a sheet.

Eduardo is right. you should COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$2500,Sheet2!A1).
Another issue is to double check; confirm the format the policy # are written out in your sheet 1 is exactly the same as your data worksheet.... a good way to test is to copy cell A1 in your data sheet and paste in the "find" dialogue box (after clicking ctrl+F, then find to see if the policy actually exists in your sheet 1. wish you luck.
