Search for phone number list in multiple cells and display an alert.

[venkatakrishna]

Hi,

Example 1.xls

I have a data sheet with various phone numbers of different personnel from various departments. Some of them are on the Do not call list and I want to display an alert if any of those "DO not call list" appears on one of the cells. I have attached an example file for better understanding. The file has 2 sheets namely "Data" and "Do Not call list". In Data sheet in cell c2 I need to display "Do not Call" if the numbers from "Do not call list" figure in any of the Phone numbers in fields E2,g2,I2,K2, M2,O2,Q2,S2,U2,W2,Y2,AA2, AC2,AE2,AG2 and so on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
