IF {NAME} in List Than "YES", "NO"

Hello smartsheet Community,

I have to lists:

  1. list: everyone can put his information on it
  2. list: is a contact list which shows special persons

I want to put a column in the first list, which says, if the submitter is a part of the 2nd list.

I tried it with IF- and INDEX-formular, but its not working. about your help I would be very happy.


Thank you in advance.


BR,

Alex

    Hi @Alexander Semke

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Here's the formula structure for INDEX/MATCH.

    =INDEX({ColumnWithTheValueYouWantToShow}; MATCH(CellThatHaveTheValueToMatch@row;

    {ColumnWithTheValueToMatchAgainsTheCell}; 0))

    Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.


    If you need additional assistance, it would be great if you could describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)


    Did that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!
