Column and cell identificatiion
If cell value/number B2 is shown anywhere in column A, then how do I show that cell B2 in cell C2?
I have got as far as having the following in cell C2 =IF((B2=A2),B2) which works but only if the cell being looked for is in A2. When I try to extend column A to say A2:A100 so that can look in anywhere within that column, it no longer works. Any assistance very much appreciated - thanks. Budask |

=IF(COUNTIF(A:A,B2) 0, B2, "Not Found") In article , Budask wrote: If cell value/number B2 is shown anywhere in column A, then how do I show that cell B2 in cell C2?

Try this formula in C2 (the formula can be copied down if needed)...
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B2,A$2:A$100,0)),B2,"") Rick "Budask" wrote in message ... If cell value/number B2 is shown anywhere in column A, then how do I show that cell B2 in cell C2?

Actually, in thinking about it, and assuming your search word will never be
in your Row 1 header, you don't have to provide a limit on the search range... =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B2,A:A,0)),B2,"") Rick "Rick Rothstein (MVP - VB)" wrote in message ...
