Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following:

I have on sheet one, a column for brands (A) and column for feature type (C).

On Sheet 2 I have brands in column A and the feature in Column D.

I want to validate ('TRUE', 'FALSE') whether the feature is the same. I think I need to use some form of IF statement however, as I am looking at two elements, it is something I am not sure how to do.

Example:

Brand Feature
Motorola HSD
on sheet 2:

Brand Feature
Motorola HPD

This should return a FALSE value on Sheet 1 in column O


Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Greg.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
The following formula in column O (sheet 2)

=IF(D2=Sheet1!C2,"true", "false")
will compare brand character in cell D2 with C2 of sheet 1 and if same returns true or else false
