Finding/Listing Symbols from 2 Columns
I thought I knew how to perform the following simple function, but I must be
missing something basic. The problem: I am assembling a spreadsheet consisting simply off 2 columns of symbols. The two columns may or may not have matching symbols. The question: Is there a formula what will search through both columns and list symbols only that appear in both columns? If so, can somebody please list the steps? Thank you for any response. |
Finding/Listing Symbols from 2 Columns
With
A1:A10 containing one set of symbols B1:B10 containing another set of symbols, including some matches from the 1st set. Try this ARRAY FORMULA: D1: =INDEX($A$1:$A$10,SMALL(IF(COUNTIF($B$1:$B$10,$A$1 :$A$10),ROW($A$1:$A$10)),ROWS(D$1:D1))) Copy D1 and paste it into D2 and down as far as you need Note: For array formulas, hold down [Ctrl] [Shift] when you press [Enter], instead of just pressing [Enter]. Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Manfred" wrote: I thought I knew how to perform the following simple function, but I must be missing something basic.
