Need help with formula that has three outcomes
I am looking for a formula that will return a value for same, higher, or lower for to numbers that are compared to each other. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Haytham.
couldn't download your file ("network error").
My suggestions:
=SWITCH(SIGN(B1-A1),-1,"lower",0,"same",1,"higher")
=LOOKUP(2,1/COUNTIFS(A1,{">";"=";"<"}&B1),{"lower";"same";"higher"})
=IF(B1>A1,"higher",IF(B1<A1,"lower","same"))
