I have 2 columns on seperate sheets one will contain a single text value, the other a string. I want to return true in the Manufacturer and Model sheet if it is found on the Model sheet.

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Assuming Manufactur and Model is located on Sheet2 A2:A5

Enter formula on Sheet1 in cell B2 and copy down
Code:
[B]=ISNUMBER(MATCH("*"&A2,Sheet2!A$2:A$5,0))[/B]
