I need to compare compensation report. Columns I, M, and P all need to match in each row. What is the formula?

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
You havent actually specified what you want listed, just that "they need to match".
If you want to list only those companies where columns I M and P all match then use this

in Q1
=IFERROR(INDEX($D$1:$D$6,SMALL(IF((I$1:I$6=M$1:M$6)*(I$1:I$6=P$1:P$6),ROW($A$1:$A$6)),ROW(A1))-(ROW(A$1)-1),1),"")
Array formula, use Ctrl-Shift-Enter
and copy down the column

Excellent point. I would like the formula to return an empty cell if all cells match and "doesn't match" in the rows that don't match.

in Q2
=IF(AND(I2=M2,I2=P2),"","Doesn't match")
and copy down the column
