Checking values in 2 columns
 

I want to check a group of random integers in column A to see if there is an
equivalent value in column B (again random). I want to put the result in
column C. (eg Yes or No).

eg

A B C

1 5 Y
11 6 N
5 1 Y
5 5 Y


Can SKS help please


TIA

Hi Rob

=IF(B1="","",IF(COUNTIF(A:A,B1),"Y","N"))
Copy down as required

Hi,

Put this in C1 and drag down. Alter the range to suit.

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,$B$1:$B$4,0)),"N","Y")

This looks like it works...

=MID("NY",1+ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1,B:B,0)),1)

This macro will do what you want:
Sub Different()
Dim i As Integer

For i = 2 To 50
If Worksheets("Check Number in Column").Cells(i, 1) = Worksheets("Check
Number in Column").Cells(i, 2) Then
Worksheets("Check Number in Column").Cells(i, 3) = ""
Else
Worksheets("Check Number in Column").Cells(i, 3) = "Different"
End If
Next i
End Sub

Make sure your sheet is named appropriately...

Regards,
Ryan---
