Hello all,
I am looking for a way to check whether a cell contains
an "accepted" value or not. To clarify:
In column A city names are entered. In column X I have a
list of possible cities. In column B I would like to have
a function that shows e.g. "ok" if the entered city name
from column A appears somwhere in column X. Otherwise
column B should show e.g. "wrong entry".
Which function can I use for this?
The reason for this verification is that later column A
will serve as lookup_value and column X as lookup_vector.
The problem is that the following would mess up my results
for this lookup:
"If LOOKUP can't find the lookup_value, it matches the
largest value in lookup_vector that is less than or equal
to lookup_value."
Thanks for any help in advance,
Thore
