I have two columns- column E which extends upto 99504(values) and column I which extends to 2691(values).Both the columns contains filenames with extension.
Something like this
E I
TSL_groups.mrk pcbx_report.mrk
abcd.mrk jhuo.mrk
and so on...
I want to find if the files in column I (heading Filename_B) exists in column E(heading Filename_A). If true, say TRUE in a new column let's say column K.
How do I do that? TIA.
You could try this
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(<single column I value>,<entire column E range>,1,FALSE)),FALSE, TRUE)
-or-
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(<single column I value>,<entire column E range>,1,FALSE)),"FALSE", "File found in row " & MATCH(<single column I value>,<entire column E range>,0))
you could replace <single column I value>
and <entire column E range>
with named ranged. That'd probably be the easiest.
Just drag that formula all the way down the length of your I column in whatever column you want.
