Hello,

I have been trying to find the answer in a few forums but haven't found quite what I'm looking for.

I have a column (A) of around 2000 numbers, each of which is linked to another value (ie: A1 = 123456 which is linked to B1 = 3). All of the values in column A are unique, as are those found in a third column (C), but all 500 of the values found in column C are found in column A. What I'd like to do is find where the value in column C is found in column A (ie: a duplicate) and thus the value in column B so I can fill out a fourth column (D) with the value found in B.

I really hope that explains things - perhaps due to the specific nature of the query I've been unable to find an answer elsewhere so apologies if this has been covered before.

Many thanks.

Hi Researchfellow,

Let me see if I get this right?

For example A3 matches C7, then you want to copy B3 to the first available cell of column D.

Do I understand you correctly?

Best regards,
Trowa
