If you use this formula somewhere at the top (not in column H)<br />
<br />
=MATCH(FALSE,H:H,0)<br />
<br />
That will tell you the first row with FALSE in column H - I get 2292 - that row and the next 4 are all FALSE<br />

Hey Barry, I am completely stupid when it comes to excel. Where do I place that formula, exactly?

See the attached excel sheet.

Anyway, today something is wrong. &nbsp;Normally after I run the formula in column H, it will say &quot;false&quot; when it encounters a difference.
