Hi. Spreadsheet A in Workbook 2 has various columns which match the cell
values in Spreadsheet H of Workbook 1.
Column O is a control list of Suppliers names so spelling etc is exact
throughout.
On Spreadsheet A in Workbook 2 I have inserted a column C to check the value
of Column I against Column O. If it finds a match in the list, I want it to
show the name but if not, I want it to remain blank.

Could someone help with this formula please?
TIA
Chris

Your Column O -- In what Sheet and Workbook is it in?

Oops sorry, Column O is in Spreadsheet A of Workbook 2
so i want something like this
If cell value in column I equals any one cell in column range O2:O50 then
show cell value in column I, otherwise leave blank
I have sorted the range alphabetically if that helps
Thanks for looking

There might be a better (and shorter) way, but in your cell C2 enter:

=IF(ISNA(INDEX($O$2:$O$50,MATCH(I2,$O$2:$O$50,0),1 )),"",(INDEX($O$2:$O$50,MATCH(I2,$O$2:$O$50,0),1)) )
<< All in one cell

And Copy down to C50;

Thanks for this, I've tried it but only get the content of the cell in
column I, regardless of whether it matches a value in the range O2:O50 or
not.

Try an exact match then

=IF(ISNA(INDEX($O$2:$O$50,MATCH(I2,$O$2:$O$50,0),1 0)),"",(INDEX($O$2:$O$50,M
ATCH(I2,$O$2:$O$50,0),0)))

I understood that you wanted in Col C the Content of Col I only if It
(the content of Col I) could be matched with the content of Col O.

Bob: You used 10 as the column # in the ISNA portion
And 0 as the column in the Alternate portion.

Since our Index-table is ONLY ONE Column maybe neither actual numbers
Matter. Can you confirm?

I thank both of you for the effort and help you are trying to give me but
both your formulas give me an answer every time, i.e. the content of the
column even if it doesn't match any cell in the range to check.

My mistake Jim, I misread the post, you were already using exact matching.

You can reduce the test though,

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(I2,$O$2:$O$50,0)),"",INDEX($O$2:$O$ 50,MATCH(I2,$O$2:$O$50,0),
0))

but then if you are searching for a value in a column, why not reyturn that
value if matched

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(I2,$O$2:$O$50,0)),"",I2)

Copy and paste here to show us the exact formula you have in the cell in
Column C which contains a Value that should not be displaying a value.

Ok, chaps picture this:
a pratt sat at his pc, with a red face and higher than normal temperature,
as he trys to find a way to apologise for wasting your time having used the
formula you devised and it works. The error causing non listed names to
appear was my own in that they were appearing in the list because i hadn't
filtered them properly and that's why they were always appearing with your
formulae.
My sincere apologies for not checking my own work before querying yours.
