Default DMAX criteria

I am using DMAX($C$4:$J$498,"column heading",I4:I5) where I5 contains =C5
where C5 contains "Asset 1". Unfortunately, DMAX is not only matching "Asset
1", but also matching "Asset 10", "Asset 11", etc. What do I use in I5 to
tell DMAX to only include the exact matches for C5 contents "Asset 1"?

In cell I5, change the formula to: ="="&C5
