I'm trying to find out how to use a formula to search cells containing multiple values against an array of values and either extract those values to another column or just return some identifier (not exist v exist, etc.). Is this possible?

ex:
target cell values are in this format

860032011
830001267
860008007
860007027
860010022
830006025
112101011
112103012


versus my list of values for reference

112101014
112101039
112101056
112101057
112102003
112102004
112101055
112101090

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
I've tried this =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(Q7P6:P1055,WORKING!A1:A53,1,FALSE)),"NOT EXIST","EXIST") and it "works", but does not search the entire cell

You could explain a single example, what to look for and where to look. And in that example what is the result.

Is this in a single cell?

target cell values are in this format


860032011
830001267
860008007
860007027
860010022
830006025

Yes it is in a single cell.

Basically, I have a cell with 10 multiple response values (stacked with carriage returns).

Instead of splitting those values out to separate cells, I want to know if I can leave the cell as it is and also search it against a table of values.

If I have these department IDs all in the same cell and separated by a carriage return:

1000
1001
1002
1003
1004
1005

I want to know if I can compare it against a range of values in individual cells in another sheet:

Reference ex:

8888

29211

30341

1003

4522

And either highlight the cell, or display some match value, etc
