Lookup question

[Steve]

I want to be able to take the value of A2, and lookup in a range of cells on
another sheet, and if it finds the value of a2 in that range, then display
"open". If it doesn't find the value of A2 in the range, I want it to
display "closed". Is it possible to make this happen?

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2;lookup_range,)),"open","closed")

 

[Jarek Kujawa]

oops, sorry, replace ampersand with comma

here comes the correct one:

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,lookup_range,)),"open","closed")

 

[T. Valko]

Try something like this:

=IF(COUNTIF(Sheet2!A1:A100,A2),"Open","Closed")

Where Sheet2!A1:A100 is the range to check.

Typo maybe?

That is a semi-colon(.....not an ampersand(&)
