Hi everyone,
I'm using VLOOKUP to compare two sets of email lists in List A and Spreadsheet List B. These two lists are in two different workbooks. Please note I am using Excel 2011 on a MacBook Pro. I need to know if the emails found in Column A (Email column) of Workbook List B are found in Column A (Email column) of Workbook List A.
I'm using the following VLOOKUP formula
=VLOOKUP(A2,'
[List A.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$1:$D$2000,1,FALSE)
The formula works if I use it to compare the emails from List A to those in List B {=VLOOKUP(A2,'
[List A.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$1:$D$2000,1,FALSE)}, but not if I try to compare the emails from List B to List A {=VLOOKUP(A2,'
[List B.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$1:$D$2000,1,FALSE)}
I'm not getting an error message, the cell is just not recognizing it as a formula.
Can someone please help me figure out what the issue might be?
Thanks!
Both sets of emails are in Column A in both workbooks.
