I've got two columns of data, and I would like to use conditional highlighting to find the EXACT matches in both columns. However, using a formula like this one turns up a lot of incorrect matches:
=MATCH(A1,B:B,0)>0
There are a lot of partial matches, so cells are highlighted that I don't want. What I want is the equivalent of the "Match Entire Cell Contents" checkbox in the Find & Replace dialog.
To make this clear, it seems Excel will do partial matches - here is the Find & Replace dialog without "Match Entire Cell Contents" checked, with a sample search for all matches:
