problem with ISNA and VLOOKUP
 

accidentally posted this in General

Need help with a formula..

Let's say I have "12/31/2000" in Sheet 1, Cell A1 and I need to see if
this date is in a table in Sheet 2 and if it is it will return a value
of "1" and if not it returns a value of "2"

The formula I have is

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A1:B4,2)),0,1)


12/31/2000 is NOT located in Sheet 2 yet I still get a return value of
1.. help would be appreciated

It is doing an approximate match. Use

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A1:B4,2,FALSE)),0,1)
