如果单元格与另一个单元格匹配，则复制值

Question

I can't seem to figure this one out. I have two work sheets with some of the same ids, but if an id matches on one sheet with another I need it to see if the status is Routed and if it is, then I need ay placed in Column B of the related number.

So for example:

Worksheet 1  
-----A--------B  
1--**4345**---Routed  
2--5643---Completed  
3--3423---Routed  
4--2342---Routed  



Worksheet 2  
-----A-------B  
1--9876----n  
2--5678----n  
3--**4345**----y  
4--1234----n  

So if there is a match in column A between the two worksheets then I need it to search for Routed in Column B on Worksheet 1.

If the word Routed is there, then I need it to add a "y" to the previously matched id in column B of Worksheet 2, otherwise if the id is not found or if it matches, but no routed (rather it be blank or something else [completed, done, ect]) then I need an n in column B.

Answer 1

Inserting a VLOOKUP() function into an IF() function will test whether the looked-up value meets the specified condition, and return the specified values if TRUE ( "y" ) or FALSE (" n "): =IF(VLOOKUP(A2, SHEET1!$A$1:$B$4, 2, FALSE)="Routed", "y", "n") . You can enclose the entire formula in IFERROR() to account for IDs in Sheet2 that are not in Sheet1: =IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(A2, SHEET1!$A$1:$B$4, 2, FALSE)="Routed", "y", "n"), "n") .

Per comments: If you want to find any cell containing the text "Routed" (but possibly with other text as well), you can change the VLOOKUP(. . .) = "Routed" condition to a test of whether the SEARCH() function finds the text: =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Routed", VLOOKUP(A2, SHEET1!$A$1:$B$4, 2, FALSE))), "y", "n") . Again, you can enclose this in IFERROR() .

Answer 2

This works. Place the below formula in Sheet2. You can paste it down as many rows as you like as it is relative.

=IF(NOT(A1=Sheet1!A1),"",IF(Sheet1!B1="routed","y","n"))
