Search a specific value within a range

lschek1

Hi, in this example, I would like to search a value (each cell in Column 5), within a range in Column4. I tried using formula HAS and CONTAINS, but it seems the criteria or search value is not recognized when I click on a cell in Column 5.

Appreciate if you can help me to find a way to pull this off.

Best regards,

Genevieve P.

Hi @lschek1

I agree that it would be helpful to know a bit more about what you're looking to do! Are you just checking to see if the value in your Column5 appears anywhere in Column4?

If so, try something like this:

=IF(CONTAINS([Column5]@row, [Column4]:[Column4]), "Yes", "No")

Cheers,

Genevieve

Hi @lschek1

I hope you're well and safe!

Can you share the formula you're testing and elaborate on what's not working?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Hi @Genevieve P. @Andrée Starå , yes I was able to solve, I changed something in the formula and did something similar to what Genevieve suggested. Many thanks.
