Default Compare Upper and Lower Case

This function returns True.
=IF("asdf"="ASDF",True,False)
What function do I use to get False?
Thanks, James

Use the FIND function to see if one string is contained in the other -
that is case sensitive.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your replies, Impulse and Pete. Exact seems to do
"exactly" what I want!
