Advanced use of IF

[Backdoor Cover]

I am trying to come up with a formula that does this.

If A7 on worksheet '05-29' is equal to any of the cells in column A o
worksheet 'notes' then give me the data in Column B on that same row.

I assumed a basic IF formual like this =IF(A7=Notes!A1,Notes!B1,""
would work but it relies on the cells being in order everytime. In on
week account ID 239 might not buy anything from us so I won't need hi
notes.

I have wasted a lot of time doing this manually so I would be thrille
if someone could help.

Thanks!
Luk

Hi Luke,

Look in HELP for the VLOOKUP function.
Pay attention to the description of the 4th argument of that function.

Will this formula help you?

=if(countif(Notes!$A$1:$A100,A7)>0,vlookup(A7,Notes!$A$1:$B$100,2,0),"")

Hi

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A7,Notes!$A$1:$B$1000,2,0)),"",VLOOKUP(A7,Notes!$A$1:$B$
1000,2,0))

Try
=IF(A7=Notes!A1,Notes!B1,"", false)
