    Return Missing Value

    Hi all,

    In range A1:A5 I have these values "alfa", "bravo", "charlie"
    Now I'd like cell A6 to show the missing value, if there is one.

    If I take for example out the "bravo" from range A1:A5, then it should appear in A6

    Re: Return Missing Value

    Hello,

    where exactly in the five cells A1:A5 are the values "alfa", "bravo", "charlie"? Which cells?

    If a value is missing, what does the cell look like? Is it empty? How can a missing value be shown in a cell?

    Can you post a workbook and explain in context what you want to achieve?

    Hello Teylyn,

    There position within the range changes.
    The rest of the cells within the range are empty.
    A missing value is also mepty

    Please post a workbook. Your question is not clear.

    I've a copy attached to this post.
    2 missing codes are seperated by a comma.

    That's quite a different setup from your initial description

    In range A1:A5 I have these values "alfa", "bravo", "charlie"
    You have a table of values, not just a column. You want to look in a row within the table, not in the column.

    These details do matter.

    You could try in G3:

    copy down.

    There may be the odd comma that's not required, but getting rid of that would be a major complication.

    Can you live with the formula as it is?

    cheers,
