Hi Yuvanne_11
It seems you have the formula correct and thus it could be data mismatch. eg figures looking like numbers but actually are text - normally left aligned instead of right.
I have however attached an example that you can use to compare your solution and maybe test with your own data.
You colud also test if Excel considers the two expected cells to be alike, eg

Should be true (if A2 holds the corresponding value you are looking for).
If not, the two values are not the same.
