The EXACT function in excel compares to strings or cells to tell if they are exactly the same. If they are same, you’ll get TRUE, else FALSE. Yes you can do the same using comparison operator (=) but it’s not case sensitive. EXACT is case sensitive.
text1, text2: These are the texts that you want to compare.
To compare text in Cell A2 and B2, write this formula:

This will return false. As the first one is in capitals and the other is in smalls.
