I have one worksheet with two sheets. On the first sheet I have a list in
column Q. I want to check that row against column A in the second sheet. If
I find and exact match, I want to put "Checked" in column AA, if not I want
it to be blank. This is the formula that I've tried:

IF(COUNTIF('Prior Month'!$A$1:$A$100,Q5)>"","Checked","")
 
Hi soconfused, you were soclose

=IF(COUNTIF('Prior Month'!$A$1:$A$100,Q5)>0,"Checked","")

Actually, all 3 other options should have worked just as well. Rick's
ISNUMBER(MATCH(..)) option is identical (conversely) to Muddan's
ISNA(MATCH(..)), it just needs some tweaking on the lookup/col references.
The COUNTIF option was tested ok here before posting it to you.
