Excel question - lookup function

Jen199 · 2008-02-01 16:52:31

Hi, Can anyone help me with this. I have 2 columns of numbers. Lets say Col A and Col B. Col A has about 2000 entries. Col B has about 500. I want to take the number in col b and have excel look through col A to see if it is in there, and if so to return the value true or a number 1. Maybe its not lookup function. Any…

Hi,

Can anyone help me with this.

I have 2 columns of numbers. Lets say Col A and Col B.
Col A has about 2000 entries. Col B has about 500.
I want to take the number in col b and have excel look through col A to see if it is in there, and if so to return the value true or a number 1.

Maybe its not lookup function. Any ideas?

VLOOKUP should do the trick.
