Trying to find if this is possible. I have a list of names which I am trying to do If Statements on. I need the if statement to return a value if a specific cell equals one of the names on the list. The list contains 75 people so would need multiple if statements. Instead of doing an if statement for each name on the list, is there a way for the if statement to look at the entire list at once (using a range or something)?

Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.

Yes, that is possible with an IF and VLOOKUP/LOOKUP combination.

Welcome to the board.

Sounds like you just need a VLOOKUP. Build a table with the names and values you want, then use the VLOOKUP to get the corresponding value:

ABCDE
NameScoreNameScore

Bob
Cathy
Dan
Erica
Frank

If you explain a little bit more about how your data is set up and what value you want to return, then yes. Though, you might take a look at what Eric has posted first and see if that is what you need.

Thanks Eric. Unfortunately it is a little more complicated than that. I have a table of 50,000 rows of data that I need to check to see if a value in a collumn for each of the rows contains a sales rep name in a separate table of 75 names.

Now it sounds more like you want a MATCH function. Try:

ABCD

If this isn't what you want, then please show a sample of your sheet, and the expected results. You can use the HTML Maker in my signature to make sample sheets like I did, or just use the table tool on the Advanced menu.

Here is an example.

Need to see if Column C in Table 1 contains a name that is in the Table 2 Column A.

Table 1
A B C D E
Company X Deal 1234 Joe Smith $142.01 Product X
Company D. Deal 3364. Bob Hope $443.76 Product P
Company Q. Deal 2575. Rick Burns. $236.56. Product A


Table 2

Richard Watson
Bob Hope
Jane Doe
Joe Smith
Eric Poster

The code I need will be within the 1st table, looking at Column C to see if the name matches a value in Table 2 Column A. If it matches, it would return the value in Table 2 Column B. If there is no match, then I would like it to say "No".

Hope this is clearer.
