Matching two sets of data?

[Zuo]

Hi,

I have two sets of data, one in A1:A450 and the other in D1700. I want
the matching data (reference) of the array in column A to appear in Column C
or next to the matched value of column D.

Example:

A B C D
23 14
12 52
37 89
45 23 23

Thanks in advance for your help.

In E1: =IF(ISNA(MATCH(D1,A:A,0)),"","A"&MATCH(D1,A:A,0))
Copy down to return col A's cell references where col A match col D. Eg you
will get "A1" returned in E4 for your sample data. Any good? hit the YES
below

Max,

Almost there but I want the actual matching reference that is sitting in A1
to appear in E4 next to its match on D4. Not the cell location but the
actual data. i.e. if A1=23 and D4 =23 then 23 should appear in E4 or next to
D4.

Thanks.

... Not the cell location but the actual data ..
It's even simpler then ..
In E1, copied down: =IF(ISNA(MATCH(D1,A:A,0)),"",D1)
Success? hit the YES below
