Is there a formula to check multiple cells in Excel?

I've tried using the "exact" formula but that seems to limit me to only two cells. I have three columns and about 1,000 rows and my eyeballs are about to burn out. So far I can only use the exact formula to check two of the three then in another cell compare the remainder. An easier way? Thanks!

Update:

I have three columns - each cell containing a number from three difference sources. I need to check for any discrepancies. I want to add a formula on the side that will give me a true or false result if the numbers match (or don't)

    =IF(AND(A1=B1,B1=C1),TRUE, FALSE)

    ...should do the trick. Just drag & copy that formula down as far as you need to.

    You could then put this formula at the bottom of the TRUE / FALSE column to indicate how many rows are true or false.

    =COUNTIF(D1:D1000,TRUE) - Will count the true cells, and...

    =COUNTIF(D1:D1000,FALSE) - Will count the false cells.

    You can email me if you wish.
