Hi!
I have two large lists of the same data, one is our master contacts list, and the other is the Xmas Card list.
How do I quickly create a formula which consolidates what appears in the Xmas Card list 2018 column (1 for each contact sent a card) so that it appears in the same column in the master list?
Please help as I'm rubbish cross referencing and my eyes are crossing all over the place!
Thanks,
Catherine

Hi there; a quick question: the master contact list gathers all the contact; do the xmas list do the same BUT adding a check in the near column, if the card was sent?
Master:
Alpha
Bravo
Charlie
XMas:
Alpha
Bravo
Charlie 1
Or it's just like this:
Master:
Alpha
Bravo
Charlie
XMas:
Charlie
In the first case, you can use the third column in XMas sheet with "A2&B2" formula (in row 2); then you add a column in Master with the formula "COUNTIF(XMas!A2:A2000;A2&1)" and if it says 1 means that you sent the card, if it's 0 means not.
In the second case, you can just use the same but without the "1" and no need to add third column in XMas: "COUNTIF(XMas!A2:A2000;A2)"; same, if it's 1 means you sent it, if it's more than 1 means you have the same contact more than 1 time, if it's 0 means you did not sent cards.
