The main thing that I want is something to indicate whether an account number on the master spreadsheet is also present on one of my colleagues workbooks (I have everyone as a tab on the one spreadsheet). Which will help me tell whether I have already handed the account over to them

The version i am running is 2007

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.

Hello Wmossuk,

The following is based on the following assumptions:

1. You have 3 worksheets named Main, Coll A and Coll B
2. Coll A and Coll B mean the worksheets of your colleagues A and B respectively.

You are goiing to get the below sample by in putting the vlookup formular =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,'Coll A'!A:A,1,0),"") in the cell below "Coll A" and =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,'Coll B'!A:A,1,0),"") in the cell below "Coll B". copy down to view the outcome.

just one last quick question cause it works perfectly. Each week I get the new report. If I delete the old list of accounts and paste in the new list, will it automatically pair any accounts up again?

Click to expand...

Yes it would update with the formula provided that your formula option is set at automatic.

Hello Mate,

There are no stupid questions.... Just ask....

From Formula ribbon, select calculation options under the "Calculatation Tab"

Then select Automatic.
