Hello,

I have a table in Excel where I want to have a formula which if all values every six cells in a column are equal, returns yes for the six cells and to return no if the values are not equal.
Here is an example.

The formula should return yes, all the cells in column N are the same

[TABLE="width: 99"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]column N[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Los Angeles[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Los Angeles[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Los Angeles[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Los Angeles[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Los Angeles[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Los Angeles
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

The formula should return no, as not all values in the six cells are the same

[TABLE="width: 99"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]column N[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Los Angeles[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Los Angeles[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Los Angeles[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Barcelona[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Barcelona[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Rome[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I know that a countif function should be incorporated in an if function but I cannot get it right.
The formula returns yes only for the first of six cells if the condition is true and not for the six cells of the range.

I hope someone can help me create a formula which works in this case.
