    Formula to identify contacts from one list in another list and indicate in a new column?

    Hi there,

    I have a long list of people's email addresses that I sent out an invitation to and another list with the email addresses that I got a reply from.
    In the matching rows and a new column of the former sheet I would like to indicate all the people from the latter list - the fact that these replied - with the word "YES".

    I was trying to use VLOOKUP for that but apparently I do not understand this function and whether this is the one to be used in this case?

    Please please help!

    Re: Formula to identify contacts from one list in another list and indicate in a new colum

    yes that should work - but you would need an IF to change the result to Yes or No - if the vlookup() cannot find the email - then it will report #N/A
    But you could use a countif

    in the sheet & cell you want to mark with a yes

    Assuming this is B2 on say sheet1
    and the original list is in Sheet 2 and the emails are in Column A

    =IF( countif( sheet2!A:A, Sheet1!B2) >0 , "Yes", "No" )

    if you post a sample sheet - how your data is setup - then we can setup for yo u

    Hi Etaf,

    I attached the sample workbook and would be thrilled if you could set the formula up for me.

    Just to clarify, for the people (email addresses) who replied (Column A in the REPLIED sheet), in the ALL INVITES sheet I would like column E to change from NO to YES, providing that has not been done earlier.

    Many thanks for your help.
