Vlookup
Is it possible to do a lookup that allows you to look at another tab and say
if it's in that list then tag it with a yes? and if its not leave it blank? for example: Column A Column B A Y B C Y the corresponding tab will have some that match Column A -- if there is one corresponding can Column B show a Y Thanks |

Hi,
Not enought info, best to show us a sample of the data Suppose the letters A, B, C are located in Sheet2 range A1:A10 then =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A$1:A$10,1,FALSE)),""," Y") -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.

If you combined it with a IF function, yeah, you could do that. Shorter
function (and more clear what your doing) would be to use MATCH =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1,'Sheet1'!A:A,0)),"Y","") placed into B1 and copied down will let you know if the value in column A is in column A of Sheet1. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "H" wrote: Is it possible to do a lookup that allows you to look at another tab and say if it's in that list then tag it with a yes? and if its not leave it blank? for example: Column A Column B A Y B C Y the corresponding tab will have some that match Column A -- if there is one corresponding can Column B show a Y Thanks |

One way:
=IF(COUNTIF(Sheet2!A:A,A1),"Y","") Copy down as needed. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "H" wrote in message ...
