How to use PROCV to search for codes in two spreadsheets?
In Excel 365, version 1907, and Windows 10, I have an XLSX file with two sheets almost equal-worksheet 1 and worksheet 2.
Table Content1:
Table Content2:
I want to check on Floor2 if the "doc" numbers exist on Floor1
So I did it like this in a new column on the Floor2:
=SEERRO(PROCV(B2;Planilha1!A$2:B$5;2;FALSO); "Não")
But all results appear as " no " despite three codes in" doc " exist in the two sheets
Please, does anyone know what might be wrong?

You are using the references and the wrong formula, see the result in the image below.
1) Consider being with worksheet 2 Active, which you want to put the formula in cell C3;
2) you start by writing in C3 " = SEERRO (PROCV (", select in Sheet 2 cell B3, as you want to start your search from that cell;
3) go to Sheet 1 and select the entire column B, as this is where the searched data is. At this time the formula will stay like this: "= SEERRO (PROCV (B3; Planilha1!B: B;'...
4) notice that you selected only Column B in Sheet 1, so your index starts at 1 (you wrote 2 in your formula).
5) so then continue writing your formula which should look like this:
=SEERRO(PROCV(B3;Planilha1!B:B;1;FALSO); "Não")
