    Marking if one of a pair included in list

    Hi everyone,

    first of all sorry for the clumsy title...
    I think it's easiest to look at the example sheet when I explain my problem.

    I have a list of pairs (triples or even more) in column A. All the units that belong together have the same ID. So in the example A and J are a pair.
    Now I have a list (column F).
    What I want is to add a "1" in column C for all the units that belong to pairs where at least one unit is on the list. I have hard coded the desired result in column D.

    Does anyone have a simple formula (the sheet is huge in reality) to solve this?

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hi,

    Assuming your IDs will always be sorted, in D2 and copy down:

    =IF(SUMPRODUCT(0+($A$2:$A$15=A2),0+(ISNUMBER(MATCH($B$2:$B$15,$G$2:$G$4,0)))),1,"")

    Re: Marking if one of a pair included in list

    In C2 Cell - Array Formula - Requires CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

    =IF(SUM(COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$15,A2,$B$2:$B$15,TRANSPOSE($F$2:$F$4))),1,"")

    Drag it down...

    Array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER.

    Hope moderators will be tollerant (because it gets really OT), but: nope, it didn't work. Still getting:
