<h1>EXACT Function</h1>
<p>The <b>EXACT</b> function is one of the text and data functions. Is used to compare data in two cells. The function returns TRUE if the data are the same, and FALSE if not.</p>
<p>The <b>EXACT</b> function syntax is:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>EXACT(text1, text2)</em></b></p>
<p>where <b><em>text1(2)</em></b> is data entered manually or included into the cell you make reference to.</p>
<p>To apply the <b>EXACT</b> function,</p>
<ol>
<li>select the cell where you wish to display the result,</li>

<li>click the <b>Insert function</b> <img alt="Insert function icon" src="../images/insertfunction.png" /> icon situated at the top toolbar,
2016-03-11 00:48:53 +00:00
<br />or right-click within a selected cell and select the <b>Insert Function</b> option from the menu,
<br />or click the <img alt="Function icon" src="../images/function.png" /> icon situated at the formula bar,
</li>
<li>select the <b>Text and data</b> function group from the list,</li>
<li>click the <b>EXACT</b> function,</li>
<li>enter the required arguments separating them by comma,
<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: the EXACT function is <b>case-sensitive</b>.</p>
</li>
<li>press the <b>Enter</b> button.</li>
</ol>
<p>The result will be displayed in the selected cell.</p>
<p><em>For example:</em></p>
<p>There are two arguments: <em>text1</em> = <b>A1</b>; <em>text2</em> = <b>B1</b>, where <b>A1</b> is <b>MyPassword</b>, <b>B1</b> is <b>mypassword</b>. So the function returns <b>FALSE</b>.</p>

<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><img alt="EXACT Function: FALSE" src="../images/exactfalse.png" /></p>
<p>If we change the <b>A1</b> data converting all the uppercase letters to lowercase, the function returns <b>TRUE</b>:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><img alt="EXACT Function: TRUE" src="../images/exacttrue.png" /></p>
