    Compare Two Ranges

    Hi, i've google this quite a bit and nothing,

    Im trying to do the following compare a criteria to a range if they are equal that the answer instead of been true that the answer will be Tier X

    Can that be done? Im attaching a sample of the excel file.

    in summary im trying to find a formula that can compare the job title column (B2) from Sheet (User Name) to Sheet (Tier Job Titles) Column A and Column B and if they are equal to put on sheet user name on column D what number of tier the person belongs to.

    Re: Help with excel formula (Comparing Two Ranges)

    The Formula for D

    =IF(B3='Tier Job Titles'!A3:A8,'Tier Job Titles'!B3:B8,"")

    Assuming that I am understanding you correctly

    Sorry it should be something a little more like this:
    =LOOKUP(B3,'Tier Job Titles'!A3:A8,'Tier Job Titles'!B3:B8)

    Hello Stupidav, it work but once i sort out the columns the results changes, i also tried the last two other formulas and none seem to work, the second one gave a different result and the third comes out with an error.

    Any other ideas? please?
