hi
Because SCH 051 is text and the count functions is for numbers. the count function in your fomula is trying to count numbers, it always find 0 numbers which is always less that 2 so it always displays "". use the Counta function in your formula. it is for counting text. =IF(COUNTA(F3,B3)<2,"",IF(F3=B3, "dup","")) i think it will work for you then. regards FSt1 "Steved" wrote: Hello from Steved With the formula below why is it not displaying "dup" for "SCH 051" "SCH 051" please. =IF(COUNT(F3,B3)<2,"",IF(F3=B3, "dup","")) SCH 051 SCH 051 Thankyou. |
