Help with MATCH function
Hi, I need help with a MATCH formula. I have three columns, A, B, and C. I
am entering the formula in column D. I want to look up data in column C and see if there is a match in column A or column B and, if there is a match in either of those columns, then I want to put the word Yes in column D. If not, then I want the word No to appear. This is the formula I have so far but it is yielding incorrect results: =IF(OR(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C11,$A$11:$A$82,0)=TRUE),(IS NUMBER(MATCH(C11,$B$11:$B$82,0))=TRUE)),"Yes","No" ) Can anyone help? Thanks in advance for any information. |

Help with MATCH function
Try it like this:
=IF(C11="","",IF(OR(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C11,$A$11:$A$82 ,0)),ISNUMBER(MATCH(C11,$B$11:$B$82,0))),"Yes","No ")) Works fine?

Help with MATCH function
Hi, Max, thank you very much for your help. :) Your formula worked great. :)
Just one quick question: what does the part C11="","" mean? I don't think I've ever seen that before, but then my experience with formulas like these is very limited. Thanks again for your help! :) "Max" wrote: Try it like this: =IF(C11="","",IF(OR(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C11,$A$11:$A$82 ,0)),ISNUMBER(MATCH(C11,$B$11:$B$82,0))),"Yes","No ")) Works fine?
