Hello


Apologies for the vague question. Hope that someone can help me with this. This is what I meant: There will be another column where it would tabulate TRUE (if the data match) or FALSE (if the data do not match).


Basically, the user will continue updating the rows and columns.


Based on the example below, the data to be compared are -
Step 1: Between Column B and C
Step 2: Information from step 1 will be compared with Columns A and C.
Step 3: If the data in column C is different when compared between Step 1 and Step 2, Column D will return False. Vice versa.

Hope that it is understandable. Best if the functions used are any available from excel except VBA macro code due to different worksheet formatting. :/ Thank youuu.
