I am trying to find a function for a list

[soconfused]

I have one worksheet with two sheets. On the first sheet I have a list in
column Q. I want to check that row against column A in the second sheet. If
I find and exact match, I want to put "Checked" in column AA, if not I want
it to be blank. This is the formula that I've tried:

IF(COUNTIF('Prior Month'!$A$1:$A$100,Q5)>"","Checked","")

 

[Rick Rothstein]

Try this...

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A8,'Prior Month'!Q:Q,0)),"Checked","")

 

[muddan madhu]

try this

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(Q5,sheet2!$A$1:$A$100,0)),"","checked")

 

[Max]

This should work:
=IF(COUNTIF('Prior Month'!$A$1:$A$100,Q5)>0,"Checked","")

(but it's not a case sensitive check)

Hi soconfused, you were soclose

=IF(COUNTIF('Prior Month'!$A$1:$A$100,Q5)>0,"Checked","")

Thank you all for contributions. Muddan, yours was the one that was
successful.

Actually, all 3 other options should have worked just as well. Rick's
ISNUMBER(MATCH(..)) option is identical (conversely) to Muddan's
ISNA(MATCH(..)), it just needs some tweaking on the lookup/col references.
The COUNTIF option was tested ok here before posting it to you.
