Simple question but I'm stumped. How do I write a formula that will take a
value from a cell (C2), scan a column (A2:A50) for the value in C2, then put
a Y or a N in F2 if the value is found (Y) or not found (N).

Try this in F2 ...

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(C2,$A$2:$A$50,0)),"N","Y")

That's the ticket!...thanks.

Would it be possible to modify the formula below to include the following
logic when a match is found?
Example:
If the match to C2 is found in cell $A$15, take cell $D$15 and place it in G2.

Yes.
Put this in G2
=INDEX($D$2:$D$50,MATCH(C2,$A$2:$A$50,0))

ScottO,
....the result is coming up as #N/A. Am I doing something wrong? (obviously
YES).....

=INDEX('March 2005'!D2:D187,MATCH(C2,'March 2005'!A2:A187,0))

Ignore my last comment. It worked fine. #N/A is the result of a no-match,
when there IS a match, it inserts the contents of D15 as planned.

You are amazing, and should immediately get yourself a cold beer!

The syntax of your formula looks right, so my guess is that the value in C2
doesn't exist in the range 'March 2005'!A2:A187 ... but I'm sure that you've
already checked for that.
I don't have any other suggestions.
