Hello all,

I am having an issue regarding matching an input values and returning a text. Been trying different formulas but cannot get it right.

Let me explain the issue:

Consider the following as a simple example:

  • Lets say, I have 4 columns, each column has more than 100 rows (numeric values - 6digit).
  • Number of rows in each column varies, eg: column 1 - 200 rows, column 2 - 342 rows and so on.
  • There is an INPUT CELL and 4 Different CELLS (lets say P, Q, R, S)
  • Once I enter value in INPUT CELL,
  • OUTPUT IN CELL 'P' = scan all values in COLUMN 1; If match is found Return 'SAMPLE TEXT1' if no match is found return 'SAMPLE TEXT 2'
  • Similarly with OUTPUT IN CELLS 'Q', 'R', 'S'.

I am attaching a sample file for reference.
View attachment sample.xls

Any help with the issue is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 
Assuming the input cell is P1, in P2 enter

="SAMPLE TEXT "&IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(P1,A:A,0)),1,2)

and copy across.
