Compare a column to a character
I would like to know how to compare a column (any character in a column) to an other character, character being a number or text or logic function.
i.e. IF (A1:A10<>10, "All the numbers from the column A are different from 10", "There is at least one number from the column A equal to 10")
I look forward to hear from you.
Thanks,
Joss
RE: Compare a column to a character
Hi Joss
Thanks for getting in touch. I recommend you embed a COUNTIF function within your IF, like so.
=IF(COUNTIF(A1:A10,"=10")>0,"There is at least one number from the column A equal to 10","All the numbers from the column A are different from 10")
In other words, "if you can count at least one 10, display the first message, otherwise the second".
Kind regards
