    Comparing (2) Rows of Data

    I have (2) rows of data, A1:X1 & A2:X2.

    I want to compare A1 to A2, B1 to B2, and so on. Additionally, I want count the sum each time A1 = (A2 - 1).

    I know I need to implement an array formula, but I cannot get anything to work. I'm hoping this can be done in one formula.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Re: Comparing (2) Rows of Data

    Welcome to the forum.

    The words that bother me here are and so on - what exactly do you mean? How many rows of data? What do they look like? What’s the objective of the exercise?

    Please provide some sample data.

    Thanks!

    It’s just 2 rows of data.

    Row 1 represents “par” on a golf scorecard, 18 holes.
    Row 2 represents my score on each of the 18 holes.

    I need to count each time my score is 1 less than “par”

    Example:
    For the first 9 holes par is as follows:
    (4,5,4,4,3,5,3,4,4)
    My scores for the first 9 holes:
    (4,4,4,4,3,4,3,4,3)

    This formula will Deduct the par with your score when par score is greater than your score. Else it will become 0.

    I’m trying to get only one cell to count all the times I beat par.

    So if I birdied 18 holes, the cell’s output would be 18.
