Need help with a formula
 

Good Morning

I'm trying to create a formula that will compare one cell to another column
on a different page.

Lets say i have the PO A999-9999 on Wrksht 2 I want to compare this to column
L on Wrksht 1 and if it finds a match say true.

I have tried =L2='Worksheet1'!L2:L2456
also =L2='Worksheet1'!L:L

It just keeps saying false and there are a couple that I know is true... so
can anyone help me out with this asap? thanks!!

OK assuming your data on Wrksht2 is in column A (adjust as appropriate)
then on Wrksht 2 you'd use a formula like:

=ISNUMBER(MATCH(Wrksht2!A2,Wrksht1!$L:$L,0))

which will return True if the exact number is also on Wrksht1 col L or
False if it isn't.

Hope this helps!

I tried that and it's doing the same thing that it was doing with mine
let say we have have to copy it down 500 times it will do this

=ISNUMBER(MATCH('Wrksht2'!A2,'Wrksht1'!$L2:$L500,0 ))
=ISNUMBER(MATCH('Wrksht2'!A3,'Wrksht1'!$L3:$L501,0 ))
=ISNUMBER(MATCH('Wrksht2'!A4,'Wrksht1'!$L4:$L502,0 ))
=ISNUMBER(MATCH('Wrksht2'!A5,'Wrksht1'!$L5:$L503,0 ))

And so on...

You need to lock the lookup array, ie either use Richard's
=ISNUMBER(MATCH(Wrksht2!A2,Wrksht1!$L:$L,0))

or, if for some reason the entire col L cannot be used,
and the lookup range is 'Wrksht1'!L2:L500
then put it in the top cell as:
=ISNUMBER(MATCH('Wrksht2'!A2,'Wrksht1'!$L$2:$L$500 ,0))
and copy down

The $ signs in: 'Wrksht1'!$L$2:$L$500
will ensure that the lookup range is locked when you copy down
