Strange!! Just tested again. Yesterday when the column was set to 'Text" 
if I entered "=EXACT(D4,G4)" it displayed just that, exactly as entered. 
Today if I re-set the column to "Text' again it now displays '1s' and 
'0s'!!!???

and 'false'.

Anyway I have it working and as I said the "shortcut", "=D4=G4" is GREAT!!!

All the best
