Could you help me set a formula of excel to compare the data in 4 cells and if they’re the same then store the result as one of the data, if they’re different then store as different’
Certainly! You can use an Excel formula to compare the data in four cells and then store the result based on whether they are the same or different. Here’s how you can do it:
Assume the four cells you want to compare are A1, B1, C1, and D1. You can use the following formula in another cell (e.g., E1) to achieve this:
=IF(AND(A1=B1, B1=C1, C1=D1), A1, "Different")
Explanation:
AND(A1=B1, B1=C1, C1=D1): This part of the formula checks if all four cells (A1, B1, C1, and D1) contain the same value.IF(condition, value_if_true, value_if_false): The IF function evaluates the condition. If the condition is true (i.e., all four cells are the same), it returns the value of A1 (or any of the cells since they are the same). If the condition is false (i.e., the cells are not the same), it returns "Different".You can place this formula in cell E1 or any other cell where you want to display the result. If all four cells contain the same value, E1 will show that value; otherwise, it will show "Different".
