try this

=IF(EXACT(K4,VLOOKUP(K4,I5:J11,1,FALSE)),VLOOKUP(K 4,I5:J11,2,FALSE))

change references accordingly.

Hi All,

I am trying to compare two spreadsheets of text strings, I only want to
find
those that match content and case. Currently Excel says that they match
even
if the case is not matching ie

Follow Up is not the same as Follow up

But with my current standard vlookup statement, Excel returns these
values
as matching.

Please can someone help.

Thanks
