Comparing 3 Columns and Returning a Result
 

Hello.

I have 3 columns I want to compare, A, B & C. All the values are text values.

What formula would I use if I want to determine the following:

If a value in column A is found in column B, then return the value in column
C (which corresponds to column B) and place in column D.

When I attempted to write the formula using the IF logic, it only worked
when the values in columns A & B were on the same row. This, however, is not
the case for all rows. There are more unique values found in B then in A.

Example
A B C D
Apple Banana Yes No
Banana Apple No Yes
Grape No

Hi,

=index($C$1:$C$1000,match(a1,$B$1:$B$1000,0))
