I am trying to do a spreadsheet to help me learn anatomy. I have a picture in the middle of the spreadsheet and some arrows pointing to diffent parts of it. I would like to enter the name of the part next to the arrow that points to it and have the cell next to it tell me if it is "CORRECT" or "INCORRECT". I have been playing with the EXACT function but cannot make sense of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
i think all you need is =IF(B1=A1,"Correct","Incorrect") in C1, where B1 is the cell you type your answer into and A1 is the start of a list of anatomical bits.
does that help?

=IF(B1=A1,"Correct","Incorrect")

this one's a bit neater if B1 is empty:
=IF(ISBLANK(B1),"",IF(B1=A1,"Correct","Incorrect"))
