Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ An EASY One: I Need a formula that checks if a value
is part of a list.
Hello!
I'm positive I'm overlooking the simple solution, but I need a formula that
returns a "true/false" "yes/no" value (or something like that) after checking
if a cell's value is contained in a given list. In other words, "Q: Is Cell
A ("Widget") contained in list B "Stock Items"? A: Yes/no, True/False"
Thanks for your help!
