I am trying to compare 2 columns of numbers, one column (D1) where the numbers may be repeated. I need to check if the numbers are listed in the second column and if they are return a Yes in a seperate column (F1). I have named the second column data2 (this has unique numbers) and tried the formula below which I found on the site but it is returning some inaccurate data, any help greatly appreciated.

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(D1,data2)),"yes")
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.

Try...

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(D1,data2,0)),"yes","")
