Hi iam having trouble wiht my formula
=IF(A2='[Area 43-52 New Floc Upload.xls]Area 43-52 New Floc Upload'!$A:$A,"New","Old") or even =IF(K12=L1:L15,"YAY","NA") It will only check if the data is on the same row.

COmparing a cell with a colum of data
You need to enter a formula for each line to receive a Yay/Nay response for
each. The way you've entered it is indicative of a formulaic array, however, you would need to encapsulate it further for the data to make sense. -- Regards, Eddie http://www.HelpExcel.com "Dingerz" wrote: Hi iam having trouble wiht my formula =IF(A2='[Area 43-52 New Floc Upload.xls]Area 43-52 New Floc Upload'!$A:$A,"New","Old") or even =IF(K12=L1:L15,"YAY","NA") It will only check if the data is on the same row.

COmparing a cell with a colum of data
Thanks Jacob that was helpful. Can you help me further....
As well as saying Yay or Nay how do i make the cell tell me which cells a match was found in. Eg: Yay, L1,L2,L6 Also when i drag down a series of formulas using the crosshair that appears in the botoom right hand corner of the cell it changes the formula. For example, =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(I7,A1:A15,0)),"NA","YAY") =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(I8,A2:A16,0)),"NA","YAY") I want only one column to increment by this i mean: =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(I7,A1:A15,0)),"NA","YAY") =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(I8,A1:A15,0)),"NA","YAY") =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(I9,A1:A15,0)),"NA","YAY") How do i do this without having to type the formula in over and over again.

COmparing a cell with a colum of data
For the second query use absolute reference like below
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(I7,$A$1:$A$15,0)),"NA","YAY") -- If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Dingerz" wrote: Thanks Jacob that was helpful. Can you help me further....

COmparing a cell with a colum of data
Using a formula you can get the number of instances; but to return the cell
references as a comma separated text you will have to use a UserDefined Function. If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Dingerz" wrote: Thanks Jacob any ideas on the frist part?
