Text Compare Function
Jun 7, 2006I think there's a function that compares two text values and determines if
they are "similar." For instance ABC would be considered a match with ZABC.
Is anyone familiar with this function?

Compare Multiple Text Cells To One String Of Text And Return Specified Value
May 12, 2012I have a dataset of shifts and want to compare each shift that needs to be filled to a list of requests for time off (vacation, etc).
For one cell the code is: =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(B1, A1), 0,1)
Where A1 is the column of requests in comma delimited forme (ie: "AB,CD,EF").
Where B1 is the column containing the person assigned to shift 1 (ie: "AB")
In this case, would return a "1" as no error was returned, as AB was found in the list. Here "1" would represent a schedule conflict.
Without creating many cells for each shift- there are 20 shifts- can I create an array or string together this type of "SEARCH" function?
Using IF Function To Compare Multiple Cells
Nov 27, 2013I want the function to return a value in A1 based on the values in B1, C1, or D1.
For instance:
If B1=1, then A1=Confirmed,
if C1=1, then A1=Ordered,
if D1=1, then A1= Confirmed.
My attempt:
=IF(B1="1","Confirmed",IF(C1="1","Ordered",IF(D1="1","Confirmed")))
I realize this is a nested IF function, and in this case does not seem entirely appropriate, evidenced by the circular reference warning.

Search And Compare" Function For A Row That Contains Two Specific Values
Dec 15, 2006I'm looking for a function (or combination of functions) that will essentially search for a row that contains two specific values (in two different cells), then grabs a value from another cell in the same row to use in a calculation.
I don't know... that probably doesn't make any sense, and maybe there's no way to get it done. If so, it would save me hours. Couldn't see a way to attch an example file to my post, otherwise I could probably describe it a bit clearer.
Compare Text Between Cells
Oct 1, 2009I've got a very big spreadsheet with over 40,000 lines.
The text is sorted alphabetically, and on its side I'd like to have a column displaying how different it is from the cell above.
Example:
A1 - Mediterranean Sea. -----
A2 - Mediterranean Ses. ----- 5.55%
A3 - Atlantic Ocean. ----- 100%
Basically, 'Atlantic Ocean' is 100% different from the cell above, but A2 has only one letter different (out of 18, including the space and the dot) compared with A1, so it's only 5.55% different.
This would help me find which cells that are supposed to have the same content, have errors and thus are slightly different.

Compare And Search Columns For Text?
Apr 14, 2009I recently posted a similar thread which was very well supported but I couldn’t get a solution because my requirements were not clear enough. I would like to try again with a slightly easier and clearer requirement.
I would like a spreadsheet that compares and searches columns for text and returns true if a duplicate is found.
It is similar to a lottery checker except the lines being checked could be a string instead of a single character.
I have attached a spreadsheet which helps explain what I’m trying to achieve.
Basically, a user can sequentially enter a single character to cells F1:F5. These values are then compared to columns A:C. If one of the columns contain the values in column F then return true to G1.
