Lookup across columns
Hello,
I have a column of text values and on another sheet I have five columns of text values (there are five columns because there are over 300000 records). I need a formula that will tell me if the text value in the first list appears anywhere in the five column list. -- Thanks in advance, MarkN |

Lookup across columns
Hi Mark,
this could be quite slow unless the data in your second sheet is sorted and sequential from column A to E. Is it, or can it be?

If data is in Sheet1 and lookup values are in cell A1 downwards, try
filling down this: =COUNTIF(Sheet1!A:E,A1)0 |

Thanks Lori,
That worked well although Excel wouldn't let me save the workbook because of a 'system resources' error! No matter, I got the info I needed. -- Thanks, MarkN "Lori" wrote: If data is in Sheet1 and lookup values are in cell A1 downwards, try filling down this: =COUNTIF(Sheet1!A:E,A1)0 |
