    Question Using Mail Merge to Write a Proposal?

    Good Morning!

    I have two questions for you all this morning. First, I am using Excel and a Mail Merge Template in Word to write proposals for my company. My main question, is that I would like to write this formula for G2: If I2 matches the test is Sheet 2, Column A, the put the text in sheet 2, column B in G2.

    The other question that I have: Is this the most efficient way to go about this or is there a better way to turn a Needs Assessment into a Proposal?

    Thanks!

    I'm assuming you want to match F2. This formula should do it: =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(F2,'Description of Events'!A:A,0)),'Description of Events'!B2,"")

    Match finds the row number for the first occurrence of F2 in column A on the second sheet if it exists. Otherwise it returns #N/A. Is number tests for this condition and returns true if the value is actually found.
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.
