Hi Ali

Please give more examples in an attached workbook.

APPL and APPLS are not identical.

You can try using a Pivot Table to do what you wanted.

Using a Filter option you can find identical sentences.

Hi Ali,

I'm confused.  The topic title is 'Search for non-similar words in Excel', but your post asks to find indentical sentences.  Which one is it?

If you want to find identical/duplicate strings you could try conditional formatting to highlight duplicates

Or if you have your data in a table, filters could be an option as Kevin said

or Pivot Tables as Sunny mentioned.

Without seeing all of your data I can't give the best answer.  Please supply a workbook and clarify what you want to do.

Regards

Phil
