Formula to find equal values with blank cells

[hilltop55]

I need a formula that will look at cell a1 compare it with a2, if exact
return true, if not exact return nothing.

A1 = Bill A2 = Bill return true
A1 = Bill A2 = Sam return true
A1 = Bill A2 is a blank cell; I don't want the word false return just a
blank cell.

=IF(A1=A2,"TRUE","")

You have answers for checking both cells but it depends on what you mean by
EXACT

If you don't want TRUE if A1 = "Sandy" and A2 = "sandy" then use:

=IF(EXACT(A1,A2),TRUE,"Not exact")

If you want to differentiate further use something like:

=IF(A1=A2,IF(EXACT(A1,A2),TRUE,"Close but no cigar"),"Not even close!")

Hi,

Try this:
=IF(AND(ISBLANK(A1),ISBLANK(A2)),"","TRUE")

Thanks

Hi,

Try this:
=IF(AND(ISBLANK(A1),ISBLANK(A2)),"","TRUE")

I misread the OP completely didn't I?
