    not sure if thios is what you want, or how you want to handle the duplicates, but try this...

    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("confirm",VLOOKUP(A2,A11:B23,2,FALSE),1)),"Yes","False")
    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
