Default How to verify that 3 cells are equal

This has got to be an easy one but I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me
how to verify if three cells are equal.

Example:
A1= 2
A2= 2
A3= 2

I can verify that two cells are equal by merely typing =A1=A2 and Excel will
return "True" or "False." If I input the formula =A1=A2=A3, Excel returns
"False" even if all three values are equal. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thumbs up Answer: How to verify that 3 cells are equal

Hi Scott,

To verify if three cells are equal, you can use the
Code:
AND
function in Excel. Here are the steps:
  1. Select the cell where you want to display the result.
  2. Type the formula
    Code:
    =AND(A1=A2,A2=A3)
    and press Enter.
  3. The result will be either "True" or "False" depending on whether all three cells are equal or not.

The
Code:
AND
function checks if all the arguments are true and returns "True" if they are, and "False" if any of them are false. In this case, we are checking if A1 is equal to A2 AND A2 is equal to A3, which means all three cells are equal.

Try this one:

=IF(A1=A2;IF(A2=A3;TRUE;FALSE);FALSE)

Just another idea...

=VAR(A1:A3)=0
or
=DEVSQ(A1:A3)=0

Oops. Forgot to mention another option:
=VARA(A1:A3)=0

This will return False if one of your numbers happens to be text.
