I would like to compare a cell (A1) with four other cells in a column and return a string ("Not found") if no match is detected. What formula can I use to accomplish this task?
Your help is much appreciated.

Re: Compare a cell with a column of cells
Let's say you want to search for the value of A1 in B1:B4. You can return either Found or Not Found with
Code: Select all
=IF(COUNTIF(B1:B4;A1) > 0;"Found"; "Not Found")OpenOffice 4.1 on Windows 10 and Linux Mint
