Hi Dana

The slight problem with the DEVSQ method, is also that any blank(s) will
also trigger a false True result.

Hi. Thanks Chip! Another version might be the following:

=COUNTIF(A1:D1,A1)=4

The advantage here is that it will test for equality among text also.
A blank cell mixed in will also trigger False.
One catch with COUNTIF is that it will trigger False if all are blank.

=DEVSQ(A1:D1)=0

Now that's thinking outside the box. Very nice.

Maybe another option if all cells are numbers:

=DEVSQ(A1:D1)=0

Slightly shorter:

=AND(A1=B1,B1=C1,C1=D1)

works well. Long equation, but it works.
Thanks!

is it possible to have this type of equation?
=if(a1=b1=c1=d1,"true","false")
I don't want to just find the sum of these cells because there
may be
other
instances where they do equal a sum, but are not equal to each
other.
1 1 1 1 (right)
4 0 0 0 (wrong)
