Im not sure if this formula works in Excel on Mac, don’t have a Mac.
You can use maybe a formula to check if an invoice number has been previously used in another sheet the VLOOKUP function.
For example, if you have a list of invoice numbers in column A of Sheet1 and you want to check if an invoice number entered in cell A2 of Sheet2 has been previously used,
you can use the following formula in cell B2 of Sheet2: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!A:A,1,FALSE),"No Match").
This formula will return the invoice number if it is found in column A of Sheet1
and “No Match” if it is not found.
Hope its helps!
