Check to see if a value exists in a list?
Hi and thanks again for your help out there...
Is there any function to test if a particular value exists in a list? A simple example: Column A1= car; A2=train; A3=plane In B2 I place "car". Is there a function which will return TRUE if B2 exists in A1:A3, or false otherwise? Thanks Pradhan
