How do I set up a function in excel to give either a < or =?
 

I have two columns that have two numbers and I need a function that will tell
me if the one number in one column is greater than, less than< or equal =.

Thank you for your help,

Thank you for your help,There are smarter ways but assuming your numbers are in column A & B put
this in C and copy down.
=IF(A1B1,"A1 High",IF(B1A1,"B1 High",IF(A1<B1,"A1 Low",IF(B1<A1,"B1
Low","A1 & B1 Equal"))))

The A1 low & B1 low can never be called because B1 high or A1 high will
evaluate as TRUE first.

Give this a try...

=CHOOSE(2+SIGN(A1-B1),"Lower","Equal","Higher")
