From: daisy on 12 May 2010 10:58 Hi, can anyone help me write an IF statement? I have a list of names in Column A and want to check it against another list of names in Column D - if the name matches one of the names in Column D I'd like it to put a Y in Column B. I tried =IF(A2,VLOOKUP($D$2:$D$1631,"Y","N")) but it doesn't work. -- Thank you in advance!!!!

IF( logical_test , value_if_true , value_if_false ) VLOOKUP( lookup_value , table_array , col_index_num , range_lookup ) I think this will work for your needs: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,$D$2:$D$1631,1,FALSE)),"N","Y")
