Quick excel question

Cyrus · 2006-11-05 21:19:24

this is probably very basic but i cant figure it. i have an excel work book with two work sheets. Work sheet one is a list of purchase orders with a reference number beginning PO and then a 5 digit no Sheet 2 is a list of invoices and one column is reserved to show the purchase order the invoice was raised on. What i want…

this is probably very basic but i cant figure it. i have an excel work book with two work sheets.

Work sheet one is a list of purchase orders with a reference number beginning PO and then a 5 digit no

Sheet 2 is a list of invoices and one column is reserved to show the purchase order the invoice was raised on.

What i want to do is, in sheet one have a column that shows 1 if the purchase order number appears in the column on the next sheet or 0 if it doesnt.

basically what i want to do is get excel to try match the number in a given cell to the same number in a column on the next work sheet.

any ideas?

Try using the v-lookup function. It compares values in columns and returns a specified value if there is a match.

You could use the countif function, such as...

=countif(Sheet2!a1:Sheet2!a100, a1)
