i'm trying to compare a value from column a to every value in column b, if they match, then copy that value to column c
right now i have a function that will check column b and return a true/false if you send it a value to match it
trying to figure out how i can run a function in to then take the true/false function and copy the first column value to column c
any help would be appreciated
thanks
Function IsInListB(theWord As String)
'it returns true if a match is found
'it returns false if a match is not found
Dim isMatch As Boolean
isMatch = False 'assuming not in list at the beginning
Range("B2").Select
Do While ActiveCell.Value <> "" 'continue checking as long as column B is not blank
If ActiveCell.Value = theWord Then 'got a match
isMatch = True 'so set isMatch to true
End If
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select 'go down one cell in column B
Loop
IsInListB = isMatch 'send true or false to calling sub procedure
End Function
