This post will guide you how to check if the values of multiple cells are equal with a formula in Excel. How do I verify that multiple cellsare the same in Excel. How to compare three or more cells in Excel to see if they are the same with a formula.

Check If Multiple Cells are Equal

Assuming that you have a list of data in range A1:C1, and you want to compare if these cells are equal, if so, then return True, otherwise, return False. How to achieve it.
You need to create an Excel array formula based on the AND function and the EXACT function. Just like this:

=AND(EXACT(A1:C1,A1))

Type this formula into a blank cell, and press Ctrl +Shift +Enter shortcuts in your keyboard.

There is another formula based on the COUNTIF function to achieve the same result. Like this:

=COUNTIF(A1:C1,A1)=3
