Default Which function to choose?

One possibility: =IF(CONCATENATE(A1,B1,C1)="5.05AAAAAA5.05","Yes"," No")

This assumes the number of As in that text string remains constant.

Hello - I would appreciate some help choosing the best function for matching
columns of data. I have my data set up like this in 4 columns:
5.05 AAAAAAAA 5.00 ZZZZZZZZZ
5.00 ZZZZZZZZZ 4.95 XXXXXXXX
4.95 XXXXXXXX 5.05 AAAAAAAA
Where I'd like to have a column on the side which returned a YES or NO if,
for example, "AAAAAA" on each side both had the 5.05 next to it. If not, like
if AAAA on one said 5.2 and the other said 5.05, then to return a NO.

You guys have been so helpful in the past, and I'd really appreciate
anything someone can offer. Cheers!
