Hi Guys,
i know this may seem easy for some of you guys, but i am after a formula that looks to match a value on one cell against an other to see if match and if not, looks at the next cell for a match
Example
Does the value in B3 match the value in K3 (if yes return 'same' in cell L) if not, does the value in C3 match the value in K3 if yes return 'same' in cell L. IF nether return 'miss match'
I hope want i've put above makes sense and i have also attached a excel sheet
Many Thanks]

Hi Ali,
I've changed the title and took out the 'ASAP' part.
Does this help?
Yep. try this, copied down:
=IF(C3=K3,"Same","Mismatch")

Thanks for the response Glenn
But i think what i need is a nested formula. for example, i want a formula that says does C3 = K3, IF NOT, does D3 = K3 if yes to either one of them return 'same'. but if K3 does not match either cell that is (C3 or D3) return missmatch
hope that makes sense
Many Thanks

=IF(or(C3=K3,b3=k3),"Same","Mismatch")
you have been qioting c & d in one place and b&C in another
or
if(k3="","",IF(or(C3=K3,b3=k3),"Same","Mismatch"))
davsth, the formula you have sent through worked like a treat - thank you so much. I have got one more ask, not sure if to start a new thread, but i think you will know. basically, instead of saying 'mismatch' when neither C3 OR B3 cell match K3 I want it to show the differences.
=IF(or(C3=K3,b3=k3),"Same"," (here I want to show the different in price if it is a mismatch")
Hope the above makes sense
Many Thank
PS; Glen thank thank you for trying also
As the plural, "differences", is used, I assume that the difference between K3 and both B3 and C3 should be displayed.
If that is the case try:Formula:
