    Question Replace a formula result with custom text

    hi guys, i have a large database full of names in two columns, lets say A and B which i had to type in a remark. For instance, if the name in cell A1 matches or is the same in cell, I put in a remark in C1 as "correct" instead of TRUE and "wrong" instead of FALSE. I know of the TRUE/FALSE formula but how do i automatically replace those results with my own texts which are correct/wrong.
    please help here. thanks

    Yeah, that was quite helpful, Richard,
    but if it does not match i want to see this:
    A1(equals sign)B1 "correct"
    and
    if A1(not equal to)B1 should give me "wrong"
