    Re: creating a formul

    I can see that I left out a parenthesis.
    I tested this against your scenario in your original post, and this *does*
    work:

    =IF(ISNA(MATCH(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$A$10,0)),"",VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$D$10,4,0)
    )
    --
    HTH,

    RD

    Re: creating a formul

    Thank you,
    Your corrected formula works well with one lasting problem. If I remove
    the data that was used for the search all the results of the search are wiped
    out. I tried to remove the data to use new data for new search. Can
    anything be done to correct this situation???
