How can you use IF looking at a column, not just a single cell?
I am unable to find a way to get the IF function to look for a match in any
of the cells within a column and return yes or no accordingly. I thought it would be just inserting the column name instead of the single cell name. i.e.; =IF(B9=C:C, "Yes", "No"). But this does not work. |

One way, in say D9:
=IF(B9="","",IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B9,C:C,0)),"Y","N") ) Copy D9 down -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "JHolmes" wrote: I am unable to find a way to get the IF function to look for a match in any of the cells within a column and return yes or no accordingly.

I use this method often but sometimes need something like
=if(or(B9=C:C),"yes","No") entered as array (control-shift-enter) "Teethless mama" wrote: =IF(COUNTIF(C:C,B9)0,"Yes","No") "JHolmes" wrote: I am unable to find a way to get the IF function to look for a match in any of the cells within a column and return yes or no accordingly.
