does a value exist in another workbook
I have a column of Text terms in column A in one work sheet and want to see
if the terms exist anywhere in a separate work book and show Y in D if it does. ie does term " 0df " in A1 exist in workbook X if yes then past Y in D1, loop through to A27000 exist in wookbook X then past Y in D27,000. any ideas ? |

does a value exist in another workbook
=IF(COUNTIF(A1,[X.xls]One!$A$1:$A$5000)0,Y in D,0)
I don't really understand the Y in D part, could you elaborate using names of more than one letter where you are not referring to a column or give an example of this from your data?

does a value exist in another workbook
Y just stands for Yes
Example In work book 1 there is a term 01U in cell A1. I want to check to see if 01U exists in any cell in workbook 2 which contains multiple sheets. If 01U is found then place a Y indicating it was found in cell D1 of workbook 1. repeat the query through all the entries in workbook 1 for all cells in column A Thanks for taking a look at this.

If you want the result of the formula in D1 to be be Y as a text string, you
need to enclose it in quotes, "Y". -- David Biddulph chris 123456 wrote: Y just stands for Yes Example In work book 1 there is a term 01U in cell A1.

Unfortunately, only a few functions work with 3-D References (references that
span multiple worksheets) and none of them is well-suited to performing this sort of check. The addin Morefunc: http://xcell05.free.fr/morefunc/english/ has Countif.3D which will solve this: =IF(COUNTIF.3D([Workbook Name]'Name of first sheet':NameOfSecondSheet!$A$1:$K$50,D1)0,"Y","") "chris 123456" wrote: Y just stands for Yes Example In work book 1 there is a term 01U in cell A1.
