    Smile Find Text in a Range of Text

    Example I have three columns:--
    Column A has the items I want to seach for
    Column B has the range of items that I want to search if A exist in this list
    Colum C is the result for each item in A

    I have tried using =IF and COUNT functions but cannot get these to work

    I hope this is what you require:

    Find The value in column A in a list which is in column B

    The formula is in Column C:

    Put this in C1:
    =MATCH(A1,$B$1:$B$13,0)
    =VLOOKUP(A1,$B$1:$B$13,1,FALSE)
    Looking for great solutions but hate waiting?
