Hello from Steved

I have 4 Columns of information

Compare A&B columns with C&D columns

If C&D differ from A&B display "False"

What would be the Formula for the above please.

Thankyou.

Perhaps one of the following equivalent formulas.

The following array formula (commit with ctrl-shift-Enter instead of Enter):

=AND(A1:A4=C1:C4,B1:B4=D1:D4)

Alternatively, the following normal formula (commit with Enter as usual):

=SUMPRODUCT(AND(A1:A4=C1:C4)*AND(B1:B4=D1:D4))0


Note: These formulas display FALSE if the pair-wise columns differ. But
the formulas also display TRUE if the columns do not differ. You did not
specify the latter. If that is not acceptable, there is a simple fix. For
example:

=IF(SUMPRODUCT(AND(A1:A4=C1:C4)*AND(B1:B4=D1:D4)) 0, "")

Hello JoeU2004

I've gone with the Below

=AND(A1:A4=C1:C4,B1:B4=D1:D4)

With the Above Can I have it Display "FALSE" in Red Text with a Yellow
Background please, or is there another formula that will allow this.

I Thankyou

Steved

Geesh! Next, you'll be asking for the world! Just kidding....

In Excel 2003, click on Format Conditional Formatting, and select "Cell
Value Is", "equal to", FALSE. Then click on Format (in the Conditional
Formatting dialog box), and set Font Color (red) and Patterns (yellow).
