    Create a mailing list from a master list

    I need to create a mailing list for people located in a specific area from a master list.

    The address data is not in great shape so I need to check address field 2 and address field 3 in the list to see if the suburb in the location tab appears in either of the two fields.

    Desired result appears in column F of the List tab of the attached spreadsheet.

    Re: Create a mailing list from a master list

    Probably an easier way to do this, but try this, copied down...
    =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,Location!$A$2:$A$103,1,0)),IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(C2,Location!$A$2:$A$103,1,0)),"","Include"),"Include")
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: Create a mailing list from a master list

    Thanks for the reply it has worked for most scenarios. When I applied this to the full membership list I had some failures due to the state of the address data. What I am finding is that the vlookup is looking for exact text where what I need it to do is find the Location anywhere in the address 1 or address 2 field. eg if Location is Christchurch - Address line 1 is Cranfield Christchurch it will return Christchurch and not blank as at presnt.
