Capitalize Text if 2 lists are equal
I want to compare 2 lists on separate worksheets - (A2:A9) on both sheets. The lists contain text. If the lists are equal I want the text in cell A1 on the second worksheet to be "PROPER"case. If the lists are not equal I want the text to be "UPPER" case. Can I use a standard formula or an array formula to do this? Thanks for any help! -- elevdown ------------------------------------------------------------------------ elevdown's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29668 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=493762 |

Below is the two formulas that I tried. The first formula compares the lists on two separate worksheets: It doesn't work - it always displays in UPPER case whether the lists are the same or not. The second formula I brought the two lists to the same worksheet for comparison (columns A & B) and the formula works fine! =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!A2:A9=Sheet2!A2:A9))=8,UPPER(A1),PROPER(A1 )) =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A9=B2:B9))=8,UPPER(A1),PROPER(A1)) Can you expain why the comparison of two separate worksheets did not work? Can you also explain what the "--" does in the formulas above? I am thinking I need to copy the lists to the same worksheet (don't want to if I don't have to!)

Capitalize Text if 2 lists are equal
I cannot explain the problem as I don't get it. I can get PROPER or UPPER
