Checking if information in a cell is within a column
I have two sheets open
On the first sheet, there is a single column of information. On the second sheet, there is a single column of the same formula. My question is what should the formula be if I want the second sheet's cells to show the first sheet's information, but only if there is not the same information in any of the cells above it? If there are any cells that already hold the information, future cells should remain blank or "". An Example... Sheet 1 Column A Row 1 - "SS-DFC-4" Sheet 1 Column A Row 2 - "S-DMC-5" Sheet 1 Column A Row 3 - "SS-DFC-4" Based on the above information sheet 2's Column A Row 1-3 should look like... SS-DFC-4 S-DMC-5 "" Could i get some help on how to go about writing this formula? |

Checking if information in a cell is within a column
Apologies Andrew.
It should be =IF(COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$1:A1,Sheet1!A1)1,"",Sheet1! A1) otherwise it would be looking at A1 from Sheet2 -- Regards Roger Govier "Roger Govier" wrote in message ...
