if-than statements in excel
 

I have 2 sheets with a list of 4-digit numbers. What I need a function
to do is basically "IF A:A=sheet2(all) than replace with 'match' "


I've tried several different variations but can't seem to get it to do
what I want!

I don't want it to touch items that don't match. I need those to stay
what they currently are.

I think I'm understanding you in that you want to know which numbers in
column A on sheet1 have a matching number in column A on sheet2?

If so, try the vlookup formula along with the If and Isna statements.
Look it up in Help, but here's a simple example of what I describe.

In Sheet1, cell B1, enter the following formula:

=If(isna(vlookup(A1, Sheet2!A:A,1,false)),"","Match"))

Then, copy that formula down in column B to the bottom of the data in
column A.

Basically, I'm looking to make excel automatically do a find-replace.
I could go through one sheet, do a find, and replace on each number in
column A by hand, but I figured there would be an easier more fail-safe
way to have excel automatically do what I'm doing by hand.

The end result is to find out what numbers are left over after
replacing all duplicate numbers.
