vlookup
Hi all,
vlookup, looks up a value and then place it somewhere else. I would like to know if there's a way to do the opposite. That is, if I find a value, don't display it, but if the value can't be found by vlookup, place some character in the cell to indicate it as such? Is there a way to do this? Thanks for sharing your thought. Ben -- |
Hi,
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,$D$2:$D$10,1,0)),"x","") Here, if A2 does not have a match in D2:D10, an 'x' is returned. Regards, B. R.

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(<your value,<your table, 0)),"###","")
