    Exact function to return an string other than a Boolean value

    Hi. Just using the below formula but need it to say "Not a match".
    Do I need an IF function or can I include it in the formula somehow?

    =EXACT(M2:M31,N2:N31),"no"))

    Maybe this:

    =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(M2:M31<>N2:N31))>0,"Not a match","")
