Hi, I have a very simple problem.
Basically i want a formula where it says if a value appears in another list on a different tab
IE:
I have 2 tabs both with part number lists on. Rather than check manually if a part appears on both i want it to check for me
EG
IF A1 (contains) 12345 Say "Y", If not say "N"
I dont think an IF is the right thing here.
I also need to copy and past the two lists each week so the formula will have to be generif to whatever code appears in that week, IE< A1 could be 12345 in week 1, but 98765 in week 2.
![]()
Maybe something like:
=ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1,'Sheet2'!A:A,0))
where Sheet2!A:A is the list you want to match against...
this returns TRUE if a match is found and FALSE if not.
Does that work?
