Compare two columns
 

I am looking to compare information in column G to column H. These are
number formats as below. I found this formula =OR(EXACT(G3, H2:H427)) but
its returning False on all lines. What I'm thinking is happening is that the
next line will read (G4, H3:H427) so the H column is moving down each time.
What am I doing wrong? I have approx 430 lines that I need to compare to see
if they show in the other column. Can you help me please?
G H

Jennifer,

Use

=OR(EXACT(G3, $H$2:$H$427))

but enter it using Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of just enter, since it is an array formula.
