I hope someone can help with a problem that is driving me soft? I want to enter a 15 digit part number into a cell and compare it to up to 5 different 15 digit part numbers (on the same sheet) and return a yes or no in an adjacent cell if there is a match or not to these 5. My problem is that ocaisionally an extra random digit or letter is put on the end of the part number. Could anyone suggest a formula for me please? I have being trying IF THEN statements but have had no luck. Thanks in advance,
Poco

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
