Check Or Find If Value Exists In Another Column

Question

It should be very easy but I just can not understand whats wrong anymore. I have 3 columns, first and third column has numbers and I want the second column to show if a number in column 1 exists in column 3. I have found a code online

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A7;$C$2:$C$3400; 1; FALSE));"Not Exist";"Exist" )

Now I know the number "5568" exist in A7 and the same number "5568" exists in C2365.

But the code above gives me value "Not Exist".

Answer 1

Try:

Sheet Structure:

Formula:

=IF(COUNTIF($C$1:$C$5,A1)>0,"Exist","Not Exists")

Note:

• Check for spaces before or after the values using Trim
• You could also use Clean
