if a1=b1=c1=d1....
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) |

one way
=IF(AND(A1=B1,B1=C1, C1=D1),"true","false") Regards Trevor "Jshendel" wrote in message ... 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) |

if a1=b1=c1=d1....
I have always found nested if statements quite useful
=IF(A1=B1,IF(A1=C1,IF(A1=D1,"true","false"))) "Jshendel" wrote: 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) |

if a1=b1=c1=d1....
works well. Long equation, but it works.
Thanks!

Slightly shorter:

Hadn't realised you were looking for brevity too ;-)

Maybe another option if all cells are numbers:
=DEVSQ(A1:D1)=0 -- HTH :) Dana DeLouis Windows XP & Office 2003 "RagDyer" wrote in message ...

You can test for the DIV/0 error if that is a problem. rng can be any one dimensional range of cells that does not include an entire column. --ron |

update file
Not without a lot of work to create a macro--and lots can be changed that would
be difficult to foresee (in my opinion). I always try to keep my data in one location. Basant wrote: Can it be possible ? In a two different excel file if i update one file other one update automatic.with specify coloums kindly guide me -- Dave Peterson |

=DEVSQ(A1:D1)=0
Now that's thinking outside the box.

if a1=b1=c1=d1....
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. -- Dana DeLouis "Chip Pearson" wrote in message ... =DEVSQ(A1:D1)=0 Now that's thinking outside the box.

Hi Dana
The slight problem with the DEVSQ method, is also that any blank(s) will also trigger a false True result. -- Regards Roger Govier "Dana DeLouis" wrote in message ... Hi. Thanks Chip!
