This is a simple formula, I know, and I wish the formula wizard was simple,
too!! Can't get it, so I need someone's help.

In cell C1 in Sheet2 I need a formula that will look at the numbers in Col.
A in the same worksheet and see if the number is in Col. C of Sheet1, and
return "Yes" if it is, and "No" if it isn't. Simple enough, I think. Thank
you. Connie
 
Try this, Connie:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A2,Sheet1!C:C,0)),"No","Yes")

then copy down as required.

Hope this helps.

=isnumber(match(a1,sheet1!c:c,0))
will return True or false

=if(isnumber(match(a1,sheet1!c:c,0)),"Yes","no")
 
This works, too! Thank you so much. Connie

=isnumber(match(a1,sheet1!c:c,0))
will return True or false

=if(isnumber(match(a1,sheet1!c:c,0)),"Yes","no")
 
Thank you! This works wonderful. Found two numbers that weren't in my list!
Great! That makes life easier!! Connie
 
Sorry, Mike, but this one gives me "No" all the way down the column which
isn't correct. Thank you for responding. I recognize your name. You've
been a help many times, and I appreciate very much you responding. Connie
 
Mike's formula is looking for more than one occurrence.

You could try:

=IF(COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$50,A1)>0,"Yes","No")
or
=IF(COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A:$A,A1)>0,"Yes","No")
 
Thanks, Dave. These both work, as well. Amazing how many ways it can be
done! Thank you. Connie
 
Hi,

Let's go back to Mike formula and give him credit, he just wrote it wrong:

Instead of

=IF(COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$50,A1)>1,"Yes","No")

It should have been

=IF(COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$50,A1)>=1,"Yes","No")

but this could be shortened as follows:

=IF(COUNTIF(Sheet1!C:C,A1),"Yes","No")

or if an answer of 0 or FALSE is ok, where false means it wasn't found and 0
means it was:

=IF(COUNTIF(Sheet1!C:C,A1),)

or if you use the version below if 0 appears it was not found, otherwise it
was:

=COUNTIF(Sheet1!C:C,A1)

Cheers,
Shane
