I understand that the Exact formula can compare 2 columns. Is there a way
that I can compare 3 columns of data?

Thanks.

Jason

=EXACT(E1,IF(EXACT(F1,G1),F1))

Try one of these.

Array entered** :

=AND(EXACT(A1,B1:C1))

Normally entered:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(EXACT(A1,B1:C1)))=2

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

One way

=SUMPRODUCT(--(EXACT(A2:C2,A2)))=3


where the 3 columns are A, B and C


you can also use this array formula

=AND(EXACT(A2:C2,A2))

entered with ctrl + shift & enter)
