I have a list of assets in column A and a revised list of those assets in column B. In column C I want excel to return the text "Asset" if a value in column A matches a value in column B. If there's no match, leave the cell blank in column C.

I've been trying to do this with a vlookup, but can't get it to work. What formula can I use to accomplish this?

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
in C2 put this formula and copy down:

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,$B$2:$B$12,0)),"Asset","")
