If not an exact match to left of comma, then ALERT
I have two separate data columns. Col B has only last name, and Col D has
last name, comma, first name. I'd like ALERTs in the F column if everything to the left of the comma in D2 Does Not Match exactly with B2, and dragged down. If it matches, then nothing. Something like this. B D F Montana Montana, Joe "" Young Brady, Tom ALERT Unitas Unitas, John "" Bradshaw Young, Steve ALERT Thanks, Steve |

This one actually works even better, because it's not dependent on upper
case-lower case matches as the other one was.

You don't need the =TRUE, because you've already got a Boolean.
