Compare 2 Columns, Return 3 values

[SnymanGrobler]

Hi,

I want to compare two columns on the same table.

If the Columns match it should return 3.

If thet dont match return 2.

If both are blank return 1.

I want to use these values in conditional formatting. 1 for red, 2 for yellow and 3 for green.

I have tried this, but it wont return 1. Only returns 2 and 3.

Match = SWITCH(

    TRUE(),

   Table[Column1] = Table[Column2], 3,

   ISBLANK(Table[Column1]) && ISBLANK(Table[Column2]), 1,

    TRUE(), 2

)

Can someone please help, thanks.

Hi @SnymanGrobler 
Please try

Match =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    ISBLANK ( Table[Column1] ) && ISBLANK ( Table[Column2] ), 1,
    Table[Column1] = Table[Column2], 3,
    2
)

Hi, @tamerj1 

This does not work.

My conditional formatting looks as follows:

With this logic it still only returns green and yellow colors. Example:

Do you have any idea why this is the case?

Thanks

Try

Match =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    Table[Column1] = BLANK ( ) && Table[Column2] = BLANK ( ), 1,
    Table[Column1] = Table[Column2], 3,
    2
)

or

Match =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    Table[Column1] & Table[Column2] = "", 1,
    Table[Column1] = Table[Column2], 3,
    2
)

Thank you very much, second solution worked.

Match = IF(ISBLANK(Table[Column1]) && ISBLANK(Table[Column2]), 1, 
                       IF(Table[Column1] = Table[Column2], 3, 2)
                   )
