Help with Excel. Formulas or Conditional Formatting. Unsure?

[TREMAiNE]

Hi All

I am trying to get Excel to Sum something for me.

Currently, I have conditional formatting set up so that if the information is identical in the "Moved From" and "Moved To" columns, the cells to the right of that grey out. This way, whenever the "Moved From" and "Moved To" columns are different, the cells to the right are white. I've got that working perfectly...



Following on from this, I want to add another column to count this, too.

For example, if the text in "Moved From" and "Moved To" is different for a particular row, I want it to sum as "1". If the text is identical, I want it to sum as "0".

How do I do this?

Someone will probably come up with something more elegant but won’t:



=(IF(MovedFrom=MovedTo,0,1) work

MovedFrom/To will be the cell refs. You might need to put the 0 and 1 in “”, cant remember!


ETA: do you mean different row or column?

I’m assuming you mean in the same row? Like this:

Yes, just like that, thank you.
