I have two columns one contains the mailing address and the other has the
actual address. i want to compare these and if they are the same move the
address to another column so I can eliminate the rows where the addresses do
not match.
 
Col A - address1
ColB - address2

ColC; cell C1

=IF(A1=B1,A1,"")

I think that would work if i could also condition on the first 15 charactors
as the mailing addresses have ST, AVe BLVd and the actual addressdoes not
 
=IF(LEFT(A1,15)=LEFT(B1,15),A1,"")

Difficult to suggest something unless you analyze the data..
