Example:
Worksheet2, ColA, is a list of User IDs that are created via a formula that combines data from other cells in the same worksheet.
Worksheet2, ColA, is a list of IDs for existing account holders.
What I did:
I created a vlookup formula to confirm whether or not the new ID that is submitted on Worksheet1 already exists on Worksheet2, but have to do so many steps first that I think it needs a macro.
When I paste in my content from a data report to Worksheet2, I run a text-to-columns on ColA to get it in the right format. Then I copy and paste as values the User IDs on Worksheet1 and run text-to-columns on that data. Then my vlookup formula works.
Sigh...
I know there's a better way, but not sure how to get there.
