VLOOKUP - cross referencing two data sources
Hi All,
Beginner user here :)
I would like to cross reference a member number on a sheet that is generated by a form to a master list on another sheet to see if that member has submitted the form. This will allow me to check who has not sent in a form so I can send a reminder email.
I'm thinking using the VLOOKUP formula but can't seem to get it to work?
Thanks in advance!

Hi @April007
VLOOKUP or INDEX and MATCH should do what you want.
There is a guide to using INDEX and MATCH here: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/84774/index-and-match-across-two-sheets-a-detailed-explanation/p1
If you can't get it to work, share what you have done - screenshots of the two sheets, and the formula you are using - and someone will be able to troubleshoot it for you.
