Default Basic Formula Question


I am not sure how to do this, but I have created the following formula
=IF(A1=G1,"YES","No")
then I would
=IF(A2=G2,"YES","No")
What this does is a search of the index.

The problem is if I have a lot of numbers I have been copying the item and
pasting the whole column. I assume there is an easier way so I can just
have the item added at range g1 and all formulas just use the same cell?

Sorry but it is really annoying me.
Thanks in Advance

Default Basic Formula Question


Hi Greg

If I understand your question, you want to make G1 a absolute reference, and
A1 to change as you copy your formula down:

=IF(A1=$G$1,"YES","No")

Hopes this helps.
