What I am tryiing to do is using a count function on a sheet to make sure end users have entered something in for everyday of the month. So when the count returns 31 for the total days in October, I need it to look at the last cell that has &quot;31st&quot; and tell me YES or NO.

I need an excel formula to look at two different cells and see if they have the same data. However, once cell is formatted with just "12" and the other is formatted as "12th."

I have tried using the following that are not working, returning NO when it should be YES

=IF(A1=A2,"YES","NO")
=IF(RIGHT(A2,2)=A1,"YES","NO")

See attached.
