    Search for value and write x in cell

    Hi all,

    Got a question on a formula. I've setup and attached an example on my question below. Would awesome if you could help me out on this one!

    When the value on row 2 column D is registered in one of the cells on page1 in column C then write down an "x" in F2, this continues for all rows. If the value is not found in the column on page 1 column C then leave it empty….

    please help.xlsx

    Greetings,

    Ben

    you could use an IF with a match
    but i dont understand the
    this continues for all rows
    .

    otherwise =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(D2,'Page 1'!$C$2:$C$16,0)),"","X")

    search all of column C on page 1 - for the value thats on Page 2 in cell D2 only ?
    if so then for the whole column and not a range in the column

    =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(D2,'Page 1'!C:C,0)),"","X")
