Indentify value from multiple values in a single cell
I am looking to produce a formula that shows if a number is "found" or "not
found". I have list of over 1000 numbers in one column (1 number per row) . I am trying to identify if those values are present in a range of numbers from another worksheet(also in a single column). My challenge is that the range of numbers that I am looking in has multiple values, separated by commas in a single cell. Looks like it was from an Access data dump. Any help is appreciated. -- dmp |
Indentify value from multiple values in a single cell
Can you post a small example?
If you data looks like this: Column A 45 1 84 99 8 Column H 1,12,20 32,44,55 18,99,65 In column B enter this formula and copy down: =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(FIND(","&A1&",",","&H$1:H$3&",")))),"mat ch","") Column B will return "match" for 1 and 99 Biff "Dave" wrote in message ...

=countif(sheet2!a:a,"*"&a1&"*")0
Will return True if it's found.

Dave, Bif,
Thanks for the replies. I am a lot closer than I was. Is there an addition to the formula that can give me an exact match?

I should have been more specific!
Use Biff's formula and toss mine in the trash! Biff wrote: Did you try the formula I suggested? It will only "work" for exact matches. Biff "Dave" wrote in message ...

Indentify value from multiple values in a single cell
Biff,
I finally got it to work. In the cells that had multiple values there were spaces between the commas and each value.That was causing the formula to only return the first value in each cell. I t"tweaked" the formula you wrote to add a space with the commas in quotes and it worked perfectly. I appreciate yours and Dave's responses to my question. It certainly saved a lot time and was much more efficient. Thanks again, Dave -- dmp "Biff" wrote: Did you try the formula I suggested? It will only "work" for exact matches.
