Hi

I have 2 suppliers, Anglian and Sarqusa and we buy some of the items from both suppliers and want to find out which items that we buy from the secondary supplier (Sarqusan) we use. Columns A to C is the main excel I use with our main suppliers like Anglian. Then I have another report with loads of other parts only for Sarqusan. It's very long list and wanted to use the Vlook up formula to identify which items appear in the Sarqusan report that we are already buying from Anglian if that makes sense, in the column D as below. What would you advise. I've tried using the Vlook up formula so that Sarqusan appears in column D whenever it's also bought from Sarqusan. I have used it in the past but can't remember. There are probably easier ways to find the info which I would like to know as well but need to know how to use the Vlookup formula as well please. I really appreciate your help. Thanks

Hi,

That's more than I expected. Thank you very much. What does the ISNA function do?
Maybe something like this:

Sorry but wanted to go a bit further. If there is no match the field is empty. How could I make formula to say 'No match' instead of it being empty. Many thanks

This will give the No Match.
If there is no match the formulas will give an error of #N/A. Used with the IF function the ISNA catches this error and will return "No Match".
