How to verify that 3 cells are equal

[Guest]

This has got to be an easy one but I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me
how to verify if three cells are equal.

Example:
A1= 2
A2= 2
A3= 2

I can verify that two cells are equal by merely typing =A1=A2 and Excel will
return "True" or "False." If I input the formula =A1=A2=A3, Excel returns
"False" even if all three values are equal. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
try
=AND(A1=A2,A2=A3)

Try this one:

=IF(A1=A2;IF(A2=A3;TRUE;FALSE);FALSE)

Just another idea...

=VAR(A1:A3)=0
or
=DEVSQ(A1:A3)=0

Oops. Forgot to mention another option:
=VARA(A1:A3)=0

This will return False if one of your numbers happens to be text.
