How do i trouble shoot an IF function
Hi all
I am having trouble with a logical test. I have sheet A which i want cell B1 for example to search sheet B for an exact match to Cell A1 on sheet A and return True if found and false if not found. I have tried several times and the IF function seems to only return a FALSE expression. The formula im using is =IF(SheetB!B1:B530=A157,"True","False") This formula is entered into Sheet A Can someone please help with why it only returns the FALSE when the data clearly contains the info im searching for. |
