Hi everyone, new here.

I'd like to know if I can set up an alert or message of some time, if a stock number that I type in is already present elsewhere in the Excel file (whether on the same sheet or different sheet). Is something like this possible via formula or macro?

Thanks!!

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Well you should be able to use a macro. I'm not quite good with coding but you can you research the .find extention for range.
