If I have a sequence of numbers running vertically in column A, e.g

1901
1902
1903...up to 1952

If I have a number in cell G3 that is not found in my list, eg 1953, I want the function to then give me the number provided in G4 instead

I know i'll want an IF function but cant figure it out. Hopefully that makes sense

Any ideas please anyone?

What do you want to return if G3 is found in the list?

Ok, how about
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(G3,A2:A20,0)),G4,H3+1)

Hi,

Another way using COUNTIF:

=IF(COUNTIF(A1:A52,G3),H3+1,G4)
