Master the Excel EXACT Function | Compare Text Strings Easily
In this video, you’ll learn how to use the EXACT function in Excel to compare two text strings and check if they are exactly the same. This is super helpful for data validation, case-sensitive checks, and cleaning text data in spreadsheets.
✅ Formula to Use:
1️⃣ Syntax:
=EXACT(text1, text2)
2️⃣ Example:
If cell A1 = Excel and cell B1 = excel
Formula:
=EXACT(A1, B1)
✔ Result will be:
FALSE
(because EXACT is case-sensitive).
If both cells had Excel, the result would be:
TRUE
Use EXACT for case-sensitive comparisons.
Combine with IF to create custom messages (e.g., “Match” or “Not Match”).
It ignores formatting differences (bold, italic, color, etc.).
