Hello everyone,
I'm kind of in a pickle. So here's what I need:
[TABLE="width: 303"]
<colgroup><col span="3"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]C[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]R5[/TD]
[TD]R6L+[/TD]
[TD]FALSE[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]R5[/TD]
[TD]R6L+[/TD]
[TD]FALSE[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]R5[/TD]
[TD]R6L+[/TD]
[TD]FALSE[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]R5[/TD]
[TD]R6L+[/TD]
[TD]FALSE[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]R6L[/TD]
[TD]R6L+[/TD]
[TD]FALSE[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]R5[/TD]
[TD]R6L+[/TD]
[TD]FALSE[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]R5[/TD]
[TD]R6L+[/TD]
[TD]FALSE[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]R6L[/TD]
[TD]R6L+[/TD]
[TD]FALSE[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]R6L[/TD]
[TD]R6L+[/TD]
[TD]FALSE
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
So there are my columns for example. I need a formula to compare first three characters in columns A and B. If they match, come up as TRUE instead of FALSE. Basically I want to ditch the + sign. It's irrelevant. I have thousands of these rows, so I can't do it manually.
Help! :D
Thank you! ^^
