    Vlookup to report True or false

    I need to create a vlookup the takes a value from one table and determines if that value is present in another table. Rather than return the contents of a cell I want it to simply report True if a match exists and False if it does not exist. Perhaps this is not a vlookup please help

    Try:

    =ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,$B$1:$B$100,0))

    where A2 is item to be found in table B1:B100

    Adjust as necessary.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
