How do I create a formula that checks to see if the value in H4 equal any value in the vlookup table m4:m48, if so, then Y, if not then N. I tried the following formula but it gives me N result for both conditions.
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
dK:

Try this and let me know if it works..

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(H4,$M$4:$M$8,1,FALSE)),"N","Y")

Hope this helps..

=IF(COUNTIF($M$4:$M$8,H4),"Y","N")

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(H4,M4:M48,0)),"Y","N")
