Excel compare two or more text strings

preview_player
Показать описание
To compare two text strings in Excel, you can use the EXACT Function or you can use =A1=B1. The EXACT function checks for case sensitivity. Example "Chris" is not the same as "CHRIS" if you use the EXACT function. With =A1=B1, Chris would appear as the same.

Example:
A1 is Chris
B1 is CHRIS

=A1=B1 will return TRUE. It is not case sensitive.
=EXACT(A1,B1) will return FALSE. It is case sensitive.

IF you want to compare three or more cells, you can use EXACT Function with the AND function.

Hi, how can i compare two cells that have some common text, not exact or equals. For example, A2 has a customer name first and last. and the B2 has an email address that contains some of the customer name in the address.

Thank you so much sir
Could you help me to find a way to compare 2 text columns
And not only to find if the values are matched but also to find away to extract the different part
For example
We have 2 cells
1 France
2 Francee
I want a formula to tell me in a third cell that the difference is "e"
Thanks in advance
