Excel Formula

Copper Contributor

Hi, 

 

Can someone please help. How do i create a formula that reads what is in 5 or more columns but data in the same row, that reads from a list in another sheet to tell me if those words/values are present.

 

Thanking everyone in advance for the help.

You can try it using MATCH() formula

But I would suggest you, provide some sample data. Its not necessary be the original data, just some sample explaining your needs.

=MATCH(WhatYouAreLookingFor;WhereTheDataAre;0)

 

Just added an example

@NyxSA 

A simple approach

=COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$21;Sheet2!A1)>0
The MATCH function works better than the CountIf. Thank you for your help.
No problem. Anytime.
