Default compare excel rows

Assuming your data starts in A1, put this in K1 and copy down:

=SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$J$1<A2:J2)*1)

| Hi all,
| I have an excel sheet with hundred rows. Each row has 10 colums of data.
| What I want to do is compare row 1 to row 2 and count the number of
| differences between the 10 columns. I then want to compare row 1 to rpw 3
and
| count the difference etc.
|
| Firstly is there a way of doing this?! If so whats the best approach?

| Many thanks,
