Excel String Comparison Failing -
checking =d2
, aransas
. when try , assign cell =d2="aransas"
spits out false
. when assign c5
=d2
, type aransas
in c6
, , try =c5=c6
returns true
. however, c5="aransas"
still gives me false
.
what frickity frack going on? formatting of cells or way i'm typing strings? checked here: excel string comparison failing when should not , can't see how type issue, seeing it's literally comparing 2 strings.
resolved: reason, seemed text (e.g. "aransas") wasn't being treated such. excel, things autoformatted numbers or dates can kept converting if 1 puts apostrophe '
in front of desired text. ended doing changing relevant cells text format, , voilĂ , equality comparison returns should.
