Hi,
I would like to ask for help with a formula for comparing name in a cell
with a list of names in a table. If there is a match it should return a
associated text to the matched name from the table. If no match it should
just leave the cell blank. Thanks in advance

Jonas

=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE)

VLOOKUP?

See help for instructions on use.

Basic formula to return a match or leave cell blank.

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(cell,table,colindex,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(cell,table,colindex,FALSE))

Hi, Thanks but I tend to get "Missing" (or "Saknas" in Swedish) in some cell
which should not be (i.e. there should be a match).

Extra spaces in the cells?
