Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Re: Match text to a list
This works just as well as the other code but still has the problem, If range (L6:L27) has the letters AA in it then it shows A as a match and says report A is already done On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 4:34 PM, Kris krishnak...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Replace Flg = Evaluate(ISNUMBER(LOOKUP(9.**999E+307,SEARCH(D18,L6:L27)))**) with Flg = Evaluate(ISNUMBER(MATCH(D18,L6:L27,0))) Kris -- FORUM RULES (986+ members already BANNED for violation) 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Re: Match text to a list
The code you supply works perfectly except for one issue. I am checking a column to see if I have run a report before and therefore the check for the match. The problem is I have one report marked AA and another marked A. If I have run the report AA before then when I run the report A, the code is indicating that the report has already been run. It seems to be seeing the AA as a match On Sat, Mar 10, 2012 at 7:25 PM, dguillett1 dguille...@gmail.com wrote: isnumber is based on the SEARCH returning same Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software dguille...@gmail.com *From:* Brian brianfosterbl...@gmail.com *Sent:* Saturday, March 10, 2012 10:53 AM *To:* excel-macros@googlegroups.com *Subject:* $$Excel-Macros$$ Re: Match text to a list Thank you Kris, your solution works perfectly.
