Description

Determines if two text strings are exactly equal. If so, returns TRUE; otherwise, returns FALSE. The function is case-sensitive, and it considers spaces.

Syntax

EXACT(
text1
,
text2
)
  • text1
    : The first text to compare.
  • text2
    : The second text to compare.

Example

Formula
Result
=EXACT(A1,A2)
Where cell A1 contains
6000:salaries and wages
and A2 contains
6000:Salaries and Wages
.
FALSE

Notes

  • When comparing a single instance value to a string that visually appears to be the same, the function evaluates them as equal. When comparing a single value in a multi-instance field to a string that visually appears to be the same, the formula evaluates them as
    not
    equal.
