If I'm understanding you correctly, you could just put this formula =IF(AND(A1=A2,B1=B2), "EQUAL", "NOT EQUAL") in cell C1 and copy down. But I might be missing something. Good luck!

vv4uu,

WELCOME to the Board!

Your question could be explained in another way to my sense, but if you provide an example of what you have and what ou would like to get, more specific help can be offered.
You could use Colo's HTML Maker utility for displaying your Excel Worksheet on the board: find the link on the bottom of the page and some FAQ at http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewtopic.php?t=92622

kind regards,
Erik
