RE: vlookup

Hi Hai-anh,

Thank you for the forum question.

You can use a IF function to do this. If you in column three type =If(A1=B1,True,False) and copy the function down.

RE: vlookup

Hi,

I would like to match the set of values in columns 1 and 2 (not as many in column 2) and if the value from column 2 is also found in column 1, the third column to come back with True/false. The column values are not in order, side by side.

Can you help?

Thanks,

Hai-anh

RE: vlookup

Hi Hai-anh,

Please have a look at the attached workbook. I am using a combination of the IF function, the ISERROR and the VLOOKUP function.

I hope this is what you want or let me know.

RE: vlookup

Hi Jen,

Thanks for this. I tried this but it didn't come out as correct as I did some spot checking.

Not sure what else you can suggest?

I want to have an exact match from the values in the second column to any exact matches to the first column. If the value from the second column cannot be found in column 1. I would like to see an #NA

RE: vlookup

Hi Hai-anh,

Please find the attached workbook with an example.

I sent you the first solution because you wanted to get true/false but if you need #N/A you can just use a Vlookup.
