coloums comparison in excel
ok fine. And what is the result you expect and where. For instance, you
compare abc from col1 in col2 and find that abc exists, do you want to know its position, or just some string saying it exists, or just print abc. and in case of pqr, what result do you expect and in which cell. Or do you want the count of the string in question.

coloums comparison in excel
With your example, place the following formulae in subsequent columns and
drag down till the end of column A. Your data lies in columns A and B, and I am checking the existence of values in A in column B =COUNTIF($B$1:$B$6,A1) returns the number of =MATCH(A1,$B$1:$B$6,0) returns the position of the val;ue in column A in column B. And if not present, it returns #N/A Mangesh "Tushar" wrote in message ... but the coloums are not same they are something like below abc abc xyz tuv lmn xyz pqr bcd lmn so each cell of coloum 1 shd look into the all second coloum cells for eg coloum 1, cell 1( abc ) shd get compared with each cell of second coloum then xyz shd get compared with all 2nd coloum cells so on how can i do this ? tushar "Tushar" wrote: hi, i would like to know how can i compare coloums in excel.

coloums comparison in excel
In case abc exist in both the coloums then it shd print "abc" in the 3rd coloum
and if pqr not exist then it shd print "pqr not exist" in the 4th coloum. All existed cells in both the coloums shd be printed in the 3rd coloum and all non existed cells shd be in the 4th coloum Tushar "Mangesh Yadav" wrote: ok fine.

ok, then enter the following in the 3rd column and drag down:
=IF(COUNTIF($B$1:$B$6,A1)0,A1,"") and the following in 4th column and drag down =IF(COUNTIF($B$1:$B$6,A1)0,"",A1 & " does not exist") Mangesh "Tushar" wrote in message ...
