Check box in sheet when email address entered in a form matches an existing email address in a sheet

Hi,

I'm trying to get my dashboard on employee training to automatically remove rows from a report when a specific user responds using a form. I have the responses from the form automatically moving to another sheet/report, but then I want that user to be removed from the 'yet to respond' report in the dashboard.

My thought was to check a box when the email address entered in the form matches the master employee list, but I'm having trouble getting cross sheet formulas to do this the way that I would like. Any ideas?

  • Thanks so much Paul.

    The way I have it set up, I want it to check a column in the master list. I was able to make it work the way I want by doing a little bit of re-arranging of your function by searching how to actually perform a CONTAINS function.

    What ended up working for me was :


    =IF(CONTAINS(([Email Address]@row), {Employee Training Form Responses Range 1}), 1)


    Thanks so much for your help, and I hope my response helps someone else down the line.

    My apologies for getting the sheets mixed up, but I am happy to have helped get you on the right track. 👍️


    As a note... You actually do not need the parenthesis around [Email Address]@row. It may not seem like to o big of a deal on a formula as straightforward as this one, but extra parenthesis can become a mess fast when you start getting into the more complex formulas.
