Default data analysis/comparison

If comparing to a theoretically identical layout of the same data, I
always just use AND since it is easy to type quick and gives basic
true/false response.
=AND(A1=Sheet2!A1)

Copy where needed.

Why the AND?
What is different from just =(A1=Sheet2!A1) ?

Good point.

About half the time I do this sort of check, it has multiple arguments
and needs AND. Maybe I just carry it over from that.
