    Compare with Range

    Hello,

    Need you expert help

    I want to compare a cell with a range and return TRUE if the value of the cell is in that range.
    The problem is that I'm using huge tables... Excel limit... and using formulas is really really slow.

    so, for example, I would have in Sheet 1 in A column
    Cell 1
    Cell 2
    Cell 3
    Cell 4
    .
    .
    .
    Cell X

    and I need to compare each of these sells with Sheet 2 range of cells
    Cell 1
    Cell 2
    Cell 3
    Cell 4
    .
    .
    .
    Cell X

    and return in Sheet 1 in Column B TRUE if Cell from sheet 1 is in Range of Cells in Sheet2.

    The cells can be numbers or text... I mean some times I compare numbers... sometimes text...

    Thank you in advance!

    Thank you for the quick reply...

    This works from what I see... but the problem is that it is still really slow ... took 10 min. to get to the middle of the file... comparing 200000 rows with 200000.

    any idea if it could be faster?
