    Findnig list of items in various sheets

    Hi,

    I have list of user id's in workbook1. I want to check whether the user id's are existing in workbook2 in various sheets(sheet 1,2,3). I dont want to give Ctrl+F and find whether the user id is existing in the workbook2. Bcoz i have 100's of user id's.

    How to solve this and do this in once shot? Does it need any programming? Can anyone solve this for me?

    Thanks in advance

    You could try creating a filter

    Data - Filter - Autofilter

    This will allow you to pick who you want or you could try a vlookup. This can be quite fiddley so I would suggest that you strip out any details you don't want people to see and upload an example of what it is you are trying to do.

    Good morning blr.rock

    Some assumptions :
    You have 4 sheets, Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3, Sheet4.
    The maximum number of items in one sheet is 6.
    Your master list is Sheet1.
    Your list starts at cell A1.

    Use this formula in A1, Sheet1 and copy down :
    =COUNTIF(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$6,A1)+COUNTIF(Sheet3!$A$1:$A$6,A1)+COUNTIF(Sheet4!$A$1:$A$6,A1)
    This will count the number of instances of each item in your list in each of the other three sheets. Use an autofilter (Data > Filter > Autofilter) to hide all the ones with duplicates.
