    cell = cell = not working

    Hello. I have a cell with what I believe are identical values. I write this formula =C11=D5 but it comes up as false. Am I writing formula wrong dong?

    2 thing to look at:

    Are there any spaces in one of the cells?
    Is there a number formated as text?

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Also, check how many decimals are displayed:
    C11 = 1.0001
    D5 = 1.0000

    But if they are formatted to two decimals of precision, they will both display 1.00 while still being different numbers.
