I feel like there's an easy way to do this, but I'm drawing a blank.

Do I need to construct a macro or is there a formula option I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
You could use COUNTIF to count how many times the value you are looking up appears in the lookup column.

I do know that the lookup_value appears more than once, but what I want to know is if the return_value is always the same. Its about 120,000 lines.

You could use the returned value from the VLOOKUP for the criteria of the COUNTIF.

=COUNTIF(Sheet2!B1:B10, VLOOKUP(A2, Sheet2!A1:B10,2,0))
