    VLOOKUP between workbooks, don't return results matching a 2nd column criteria?

    Hi,

    As part of a procedure I'm writing there will be an exact match check between two separate workbooks of data, e.g. Book1 and Book2.

    Basically the goal is to see if any of the values entered in "Column A" in Book1 exist in Book2 "Column A" and return those. A simple VLOOKUP would suffice here except there is data I don't want returned as "matched" in Book2 that are marked to be excluded in a "Column B". Duplicate matches are ok.

    E.g.

    Book1:

    Column A
    Value1
    Value2
    Value3
    Value4
    Value4


    Book2:

    Column A Column B
    Value1
    Value2 Exclude
    Value3
    Value4
    Value4

    I'm looking for a solution that would in this example case return Value1, Value3, Value4 as matches but not Value2, is that possible with a formula?

    E.g.

    Book1 (with result):

    Column A Column B(vlookup)
    Value1 Value1
    Value2 #N/A
    Value3 Value3
    Value4 Value4
    Value4 Value4
