    I created the following formula to check for conditional data – on the same worksheet. Now, I want to be able to make the same conditional statement (refer to the same cell), but from a different worksheet. Every time I try to add a worksheet or range reference, I seem to get an error.

    The name of the worksheet is “New Case”. If it helps, the cell is also in a range titled “NEWCASE”.

    ORIGINAL FORMULA: =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(“Spontaneous”,C4)),”[Clinical Only]”,” “)
    FORMULA FROM ‘other’ worksheet: ???

    I tried the following, but it of course has returned an error:=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(“Spontaneous”,NEWCASE,C4)),”[Clinical Only]”,” “)

      Try this:

      =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Spontaneous",'New Case'!C4)),"[Clinical Only]"," ")

        Hans, you are _never_ going to believe this one….

        I _had_ tried that formula, but since no answer returned, I _assumed_ that my formula was wrong (newbie lack of confidence).

        But, when I pasted your formula, no answer appeared. Then, I ‘evaluated the formula’ and placed it in the watch window… and the correct answer was appearing… _WHAT_ could be the issue?

        The font color was … WHITE!
        scream

        Needless to say -> Problem solved…. Thank you!
