Looking for match from different sheets with returned value if found

[kewl25]

I want to compare Column A of two worksheets and return a result in column B of worksheet 1 with either True if exist or False if no match found.

Hi it worked..how to make it entire column as reference (without specifying up to specific range)?

Hi,
in cell B2 put the below formula

=ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,'MRN IS INCORRECT'!A:A,0))

I have a followup question

Now I have to 2 files and I want to compare filename "Published" under worksheet "Correct MRN Sorted By MRN" Column B with filename "ALLMRN" sheets 1 to 4.

If the numbers in sheets 1 to 4 exist in "published" column B, it will return a value under Exist column as TRUE, if not exist FALSE

is it possible for multiple worksheets and separate files?

Hi,
You have to create a Sheet List. Then Put the below formula in Cell D2 (Published File)

=IFERROR(MATCH(1,--(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&SheetList&"'!$A$2:$A$1000"),B2)>0),0)=1,"False")

Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Note: Both file should be open.
