If formula excel

  • Hello can anyone help, im trying to figure out a formula for this, lets say i have worksheet A and B, if the value in column A worksheet A equal to the value in column A worksheet B, then the result will be "TRUE" in column B worksheet B. BUT if the value is NOT EQUAL the result will be "FALSE" in red color. what formula should i put in column B worksheet B ?

  • What exactly do you mean?


    WSA A1 = WSB A1


    Or do you mean that WSA A1 appears somewhere in WSB column A?


    The colour can't be done with a regular formula. You'll need conditional formatting (on the Home ribbon) for that.

  • sorry for the lack of information. let me illustrate:


    . ........WS1................ . WS2
    ============ ============
    .. A ......B ....C. . . .A ......B ........C
    --------------------- ---------------------
    1 x ....100........ 8 ..z.... 700 ....FALSE
    2 y .....200. . ....9 ..r..... 600
    3 z ......300... . 10 .x.... 100 ....TRUE


    nb. 1-2-3-8-9-10 is a #cell


    i wonder if its using vlookup formula?

  • Try:


    =ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,'WS1'!A:A,0))


    copied down


    To colour the FALSE, you need to conditional format for "cell value =" "=FALSE"

    Where there is a will there are many ways. Finding one that works for you is the challenge!
