Excel =运算符无法在多个选项卡上正常工作

Question

I have an Excel-file with 2 tabs:

Tab1

ActorID | ActorName
--------------------
4321    | ActorName1
4322    | ActorName2
4323    | ActorName3
4324    | ActorName4

In the second tab I want to put in the name of the actor and see if it's in the array

So I used this formula: =(Tab1!A1:A10="ActorName1") , but I get FALSE . When I use the same formula in the first tab ( =(A1:A10="ActorName1") ) I get TRUE .

I don't understand why I get FALSE if the formula is used in another tab :/

Answer 1

The formula works on the tab only if the name you are searching is the first. You are trying to compare an array to a single item, Excel will only look at the first.

To search a range of names use MATCH(). To return TRUE/FALSE wrap it in ISNUMBER(), as MATCH will return a number if found or an error if not found.

=ISNUMBER(MATCH("ActorName1",Tab1!A1:A10,0))
