    Mark Y/N if text appears in another column

    I need to mark Y/N in column G if the text from column A appears in column C of another page. What is the best way to do this?

    Test.xls

    I hope that attachment worked. Basically, column 1 on page 1 shows a list of POs. The second page shows from that list, what has shipped. So I need column 2 to say Y if shipped (appears on page 2) or N if not shipped (does not appear on page 2).

    Re: Mark Y/N if text appears in another column

    I'm going to be building on this daily. At the end I will have somewhere around 700 call #'s and the values in page 2 will be pasted from SAP. Is there anyway the Y/N column on page 1 can auto-populate once the values are pasted from SAP on page 2?

    Oh, sorry, I did the opposite way:

    Try this in A2:

    =IF(COUNTIF(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$10000,A2)>0, "Y","N")
