Conditional formatting - case sensitive text

[Ron]

Hello all,
I’m verifying one column of data to another using conditional formatting. It
works fine except I need to perform this based on case sensitive text. Anyone
know of a way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
RB

Conditional format, formula is:
=EXACT(B2,A:A)
would check to see if the value in B2 has an exact (case-sensitive) match in
column A. Copy formatting down to other cells as desired.

Luke,
You are getting me close but I'm not sure how to apply it with verfication
against a named list.
What I'm using now is comparing the contents of cell L28 against a list.
Formula Is: =COUNTIF(Validation_Entries,L28)

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(EXACT(Validation_Entries,L28)))
