    Need help in Checking cells in different files and showing results in the next cell

    Hi to all,

    I'm new here and I need help on monitoring two files.
    I'm trying to check 2 separate files. Looking if a cell (example A3 in file1) exist in Column A of file2. If so, than copy file2 B3 cell next to File 1 A3 that should be File1 B3.
    If does't exist than show an error or ''Doesn't exist"
    I'm attaching a file example...

    Anticipated Thanks

    HEllo topsoft,

    Place this formula in B3:B6. It will look up the value in A3:A6 in the other table and return either the status or nothing.

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,$G$3:$H$6,2,FALSE),"")

    You should change the other table to a named ranged in the other workbook. You can then use that range name in the formula to make easier to read.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....
