By default, the VLOOKUP function will return a #N/A error in case it doesn’t find an exact match. So to avoid getting the error, I have wrapped the VLOOKUP function in the IFERROR function, so that it gives “No Match” when the name is not available in column A. You can also ...
A simple IF formula can compare two cells and output custom text if they match or not: =IF(A2=B2,”Match”,”No Match”) Checks if Cell A2 = Cell B2 Returns “Match” if true, “No Match” if false To compare entire columns: Enter IF formula in Cell C2 Fill down to additional r...

In Excel, you can use the greater than function to compare columns using logical operators. The greater than operator ">" returns "TRUE" if the value in one cell is greater than the value in another cell and "FALSE" otherwise. To compare two columns and get the result in a third col...
Note: If you want an exact match of the firstndigits (including case), then you can wrap an EXACT function around the LEFT or RIGHT functions as follows: =EXACT(LEFT(B1, 2),LEFT(B2,2)) You can also compare two cells to see if the value in one of them exists in the other. ...
