A formula to compare to two columns and provide a value to another column if value is true
Hi! am using windows 7 Professional and MS Office 2013
I have "Columns A and C" with some Medicine names
If "Column C" value matches exact values of any "Column A" values
Then the consecutive "Column B" of "Column A" should return a Value: 5
and leave blank if False
I appreciate your early reply
Please refer to the attachment
Sheet:"1" explains my requirement
Sheet: "Result" is desired output
Try this:
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(NOT(ISERR(SEARCH($C$1:$C$10,A1)))))>0,5,"")

Hi!Originally Posted by Glenn Kennedy
Highly appreciate your early reply:
One more suggestion: When the comparison result is "FALSE", rather than making it "BLANK" can it be left as it is..... with the Values which were there before
By "the Values which were there before"... do you mean the value in column A... or what?
If you mean the value in column A:
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(NOT(ISERR(SEARCH($C$1:$C$10,A1)))))>0,5,A1)
Sorry, forgot to mention
I meant with "Column B" existing values
1. What original values in column B? in your example they are all blank!!
2. You can have a formula or a value in a cell.
Re: A formula to compare to two columns and provide a value to another column if value is
1. If any values is existing in "Column B" it should return Column B value ... Formula should skip
2. In my sheet it was not mentioned (i have made corrections)
Please refer to the attachment.
The formula cannot skip... not in the same column. So is this acceptable?
otherwise you will need VBA
This is ok
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
