Logical Test: Text Against Number
Can anyone provide insight into how Excel treats this type of test? For
example, why does Excel return TRUE when we have ="a"2 but FALSE when ="a"<2 (or any other number for that matter). Thanks. |

That's the way it is treated. Any kind of text is larger than the largest
