Compare Columns In Two Workbooks & Update One
Dec 15, 2007
I have two workbooks, one is reference (W1), other is the one that needs update(W2). I need macro that compares reference column in W1 with targeting column in W2, then for match cells update two or more cells in same with new data from reference cells in W1, and for end to report what data in W1 in reference column wasnt find in W2. I tend to use macro in reference book W1, and to update book W2 without opening, so I need this macro to work just with file manager from excel . No need for user modul for targeting columns, they are static in both woorkbooks. In practise in W1 is invoice prices with part numbers, at other one is the same, but with prices for distribution (with formulas), I want ti automaticly refresh part numbers with new prices, an to have report what part numbers are not in price list (W2)

I receive hundreds of excels which I combine into one sheet for input into a program (which I don't know much about). The combined sheet contains 2 columns repeated with different information. For instance Column A is Category, Column B is Dollar Amount, Column C is Category,
Column D is Dollar Amount and so on.
I then start with Column A and compare it to Column C to make sure the categories match. If C is a new category (not listed in Column A) I shift columns A and B down one and add the new category to Column A. This updates my master list in column A but also maintain the format and correct dollar amount that was listed in Column B. Then I move to Column E and compare it to A using the same logic.
I repeat this process throughout hundreds of columns. I then delete all the category columns and am left with Column A as a master category list and all the dollar amounts in the correct location for all excels that have been sent in. I'm hoping someone here knows a faster way for me to do
this using VB or VBA for Excel or a Macro. I've tried a few things I've found on these forums to no avail, and I'm not an expert when it comes to this. This currently takes me days to complete, and I know it should not take this long. Please save my sanity!

I would like to have a macro or a function, which could compare two "A" columns in different workbooks. macro should run from the first one wb, which gonna have less data in a column than wb2. so, if, let's say, A3 in wb1 differs from A3 in wb2, an empty row should be added in wb1, and now we would jump and compare A4 in wb1 with A4 in wb2 and so on..

I would like a macro that can match column A & column B data of Worksheet(WeeklyJob) to column A & column B of Worksheet(Master) then if match is found copy column C through column F into Worksheet(Master) column C through F (and overwrite any [outdated] existing data there may be in those columns [thus updating the job's weekly charges, etc.]).
If match is not found I would like it to copy entire row from Worksheet(WeeklyJobs) into first blank row at end of Worksheet(Master) (thus giving me a new record of a new job from the weekly report).
All the columns in both worksheets are labeled the same (& row 1 is headings).

I have 2 workbooks each with last name columns. One book has a column of a few hundred names and the other has a column of over a thousand. I need to compare the last names and pull out the employeeID (which is in a seperate column) to a specific column for the ones that match.

I have a Vlookup in a shared workbook looking in another shared workbook for the data I want. I open the file and click "Update Links" but I then get the following message box:
"This workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated.
-To change the source of links, or attempt to update values again, click Edit Links.
-To open the workbook as is, click Continue.
I know this message is trying to tell me it can't find my links, but the path/workbook/ sheet are correct and the numbers are getting updated. I'm worried the message will deter the other users of this workbook from allowing the use of the vlookup.

We have a tariff table with the following data per row: Area code - Destination name - Price - and some other stuff that is not important. Once or twice a month we receive updates on Price for some destinations and maybe even some new rows with area codes and destination names that we do not have in our table. Can someone help me with a macro that will look into two sheets and do 2 operations:
1) taking as reference the Sheet2 - Column C (Price Tag) will update column C in Sheet1, using the Area Code (Column A) of both sheets as identifier to find to what row will apply the change;
2) if there is a new Area Code - Destination - etc. row that is not present in sheet1, will add it to sheet1
It does not matter to me if will update directly sheet1 or it will write the entire sheet1 content with the updates to Sheet3.
I am attaching a small example of of the sheets.

I wanted to compare data entries between different versions of a protected worksheet. The results of the conditional statement [ if(test, true-result, false-result) ] always came back "0" for both paths. Any suggestion other than copying all of the data to unprotected workbooks and then running the tests?

I have a spreadsheet with ~35k rows of data. This isn't too easy to explain I have the following data (example).
User Name Employee ID Data Level Jan 08 Feb 08 March 08 etc.
Jo Bloggs 12345 A1 1 1 0
Jo Bloggs 12345 A2 1 1 0
Mark Jones 89101 A1 1 1
Mark Jones 89101 A2 0 1
For each user with data level A1 I wish to add an X if the same user has a corresponding data level of A2 so the result should be,
User Name Employee ID Data Level Jan 08 Feb 08 March 08 etc.
Jo Bloggs 12345 A1 X X 0
Jo Bloggs 12345 A2 1 1 0
Mark Jones 89101 A1 1 X
Mark Jones 89101 A2 0 1
I would really love a formula or macro to be in existance that would save me from trawling through all this data and going blind.

Each monday i get a new price list from our supplier. My job is to compare this list with ours and update if neccesary. The reason, why I'm writing here is simple -I need to automate the process. Since their and our pricelist is somewhat different, it's only possible to use selection comparison. So, I need something that can do this:
1. First I open those two files and make a selection on both of them (like all the apples on the supplier list and all the apples on our list)
2. Push a button that executes a code
3. The code compares a value in the first column
4. If it finds a match, compares the data in second column
5. If data is same, color the cell (or the text) lets say yellow
6. If data is different, update field in our pricelist and color the cell (lets say red), so I can find and recheck it later
7. If the supplier has a _new_ product, the code will insert it somewhere in our list. Doesn't matter where, it may as well be a new sheet
8. Compare the next cells in selected area

I want to compare a string in a different workbook. and find the relevant cell value of that.
e.x. in one worksheet the value displayed like "DEBIT/ATM CARD TRANSACTION FEE" But in another worksheet the value displayed as "018 - Debit/Atm Card Transaction Fee".
Now I want to compare this string and the value displayed in the column E for this row of workbook 2 should be displayed in workbook 1 in the column D.

I have a workbook called Keyword that has two columns c,and d, of words.
The length of the columns can vary,because I add words to them.
I also have a workbook called testfile, and cell B1 has a word in it.
Testfile also has an .xla module that adds in when testfile is open.
I want to type a function called asset in cell C1 of Testfile,and have
it compare each word in Keyword workbook to the word that's in cell B1
of testfile. If a match is found in column C of Keyword, the function
returns the letter C. If match is found in col D of Keyword, it returns
the letter D. If no match, function returns "no match".
I have both workbooks open and the vba code I stuck at the bottom of
the .xla module as another function.
Here's my code so far.
Function asset(Description As Variant) As String 'arg. is the word in cell B1 in testfile
Dim LastRowOfC As Integer, LastRowOfD As Integer
Dim i As Integer

Comparing two workbooks. At first the workbooks were quite stable and didn't have no new entries or deletion of old entries so I initially used vlookup to give me what I needed and later found some basic VBA on the internet which did what I required quicker.
The workbooks have now changed slightly where each month new deliverables are added and old ones are deleted. This results in the entries of the two workbooks not aligning in the same rows/cells therefore when I run the vba it highlights 90% of the workbook as its just comparing cells against each other.
Each entry within the workbook has a unique identification number so I can still use VLookup for these however this doesn't allow me to see the new deliverables which have been added of the old deliverables deleted.

I have a master tracking document that I use to record project information. My client sends me an updated schedule each week which may (or may not) have additional stores on it and some of the details of the stores may have changed.
I need a macro to capture these changes from the source spreadsheet (the one the client sends) and update the master tracker. The master tracker has a lot of additional columns of data that I add in myself about each project so I don't want to lose this information. The macro needs to see if the store on the source sheet is already on the master tracker and if it is then it needs to check to see if any of the columns below have changed.
If the store isn't on the master tracker then it needs to be added. There are around 750 stores on the master tracker at the moment so to do it manually takes forever!
Master Spreadsheet
Column A - Retail Region
Column B - Project Name
Column C - Postcode
Column D - Net Selling Area
Column E - Project Manager
Column F - Contractor
Column I - Start On Site
Column J - Launch Date
Source Spreadsheet
Column C - Retail Region
Column D - Project Name
Column I - Postcode
Column J - Net Selling Area
Column M - Project Manager
Column N - Contractor
Column P - Start On Site
Column Q - Launch Date

I have a workbook that links out to numerous other workbooks for current data. After one of the supporting workbooks gets up dated, I return to the master workbook.
Here, I need to see the updated results. The only way that I can find a way of updating the master is to close and save it and then re-open.
Is there a way of updating the master workbook using a macro?

I'm in need of some VBA code to control the updating of information from 16 active workbooks to a master workbook and vise versa. I would like it on command as it slows down the use of the workbooks when they calculate after every change of data as they are being used. These workbooks are connected over a company intranet and are used 24/7.
The desire is that cells in the master workbook will read specific cells on each of the other workbooks and complete a "map display" of the data. The data is not in a column or row range side by side but scattered across the sheet to form a map when data is entered.
I've tried using code to open and close the workbook with on time events but that hasn't worked.

I have workbook 1 and workbook 2.
I need to lookup the value in workbook 2 in order to populate workbook 1.
If workbook 2 value = NA, then "" in Workbook 1
If Workbook 2 value > workbook 1 value, then Workbook 1 value
If workbook 2 < workbook 1, then Workbook 2 value.
Should be simple. Keep getting errors in formulas @if or @lookup.
It would be nice to know by worksheet within same workbook as well.

1. To compare two workbooks with exactly the same columns- Target and Source
2. The target workbook basically has more row items than the source since this is considered the masterlist.
3. The source worksheet's names and contact details are filled out by different sources but will still maintain the same columns.
4. The records of the source workbook must be transferred to the Target workbook reference to its appropriate IDs.
5. The record of source book may be updated and will be fed to the Target book but must not copy the record that is already present in the masterlist.
Below is the code I was working at
Public Sub CopyRecord()
Dim sRng As Range
Dim tRng As Range
Dim sCell As Range
Dim tCell As Range
Dim tLR As Long
Dim sLR As Long
Dim sCount As Long
'Find last row of target sheet
Workbooks(Target).Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
tLR = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
'Find last row of source sheet
Workbooks(Source).Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
sLR = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count..........

I have two open workbooks, the first is called "Original Data.xls", the second "SIP.xls".The "Original Data" workbook contains a sheet called "Data" which has a list of information in the column range 'B:H', starting at row '4'.The "SIP" workbook contains a sheet called "Staff" which has a list of unique ID's in column B, starting at row 4.What I'd like to be able to do is compare the unique ID's in column 'B' of the "Data" sheet to that of the unique ID's in column B of the "Staff" sheet. NB.
There could be multiple records for the same unique ID in the "Data" sheet, but they will only occur once in the "Staff" sheet.If a match is found, I'd like to copy the row from the "Data" sheet and paste this to a sheet called "Matched", starting in B4, also contained in the "Original Data.xls" file.As each match is found I'd like to paste this into the next available line on the "Matched" sheet, and I would like, if at all possible, for the macro to continue checking for multiple entries until column 'B' in the "Data" sheet is blank.

I have 2 workbooks containg about 600 names and the serial number of the computer they are using. One I keep so I know who has what machine. The other is created automatically by a service we subscribe to.
This workbook is loaded with errors. Machine costs being charged to the wrong people.
They both contain last name, first name and serial number. Although not in the same columns. With formulas, I have been able to take the serial number from the service.xls and find that serial number in the inventory.xls.
The ultimate goal is this:
Take serial number from service.xls and compare it to inventoryxls.
If it exist, put the first and last name of the user from inventory.xls onto the service.xls sheet.
If it does not exist, then put "does not exist"

For the past several days I have been attempting to write a macro, which in theory would check the values within a one- sheet workbook (we’ll call it run_list.xls) against the values in two different workbooks (we’ll call these production.xls, development.xls). However after several days I am nowhere closer to solving this problem then I was when I started. I’ve tried different scripts and variations of vlookup, but I have been unsuccessful in tailoring what I have found to meet my needs. So I feel it is time to lie down and scream for a medic.
Here’s some background on the workbooks. The sheets in all three workbooks are set up in the same manner. Cell “A1” contains time/ date, cell “A2” contains a lot#, cells “A3:A99” contain positioning data, and cells “B3:B99” contain serial numbers associated with tubes in the specific positions. The only differences between the workbooks are the sheets in production.xls and development.xls are labeled according to their specific lot number.
What I have been trying to do is to take a value from cell "B3"in run_list.xls and find where that value occurs in column B either of workbooks. When that value was found I wanted to copy cell "A2" from its sheet and paste that value in cell "D3" of run_list.xls. I had also wanted to repeat that those steps for every cell in column B containing a serial #. If a serial number was not found I wanted it to report “Not Found”. There are also times when instead of a serial number a phrase “No Trakmate” is listed. In these cases I had intended to skip these lines.
Also, since production.xls, development.xls are updated frequently their names are also updated with new version numbers ie. Production_v10.xls I had intended to allow the user to choose what files to search in but was unable to figure out how to add a second location.

I've attached two separate workbooks that have indentical sheets in each. One workbook is a 2 day later update of the first. I'm trying to develop VBA code that will open both workbooks uses column B (work order #) as the unique identifier for each like sheet (which represent a month) and compares all other columns for that unique indentifier. Then I need to generate 3rd workbook that is identical in format (has a sheet for each month) and content to the two source ones but shows the unique identifier and any changes:
Column A (due date)
Column d (order quantity)
Also,if in the newer workbook(5_12_06) there exist a unique indentifier (work order #) that was not in the older workbook(5_10_06) and the same if there exits a unique indentifier in the older workbook that was removed in the newer workbook.

My 2nd input is xx2.txt shown below

I'm sure that there is an excel function that can do this but darned if I can figure out which one it is. This is what I would like to do: I have two different workbooks. Each workbook has one worksheet that has two columns of data. The first column is a part number and the second column is a price. The first workbook holds my master data. Starting at the first column of the first row on the second workbook I wish to compare the part number held in that cell with the part numbers held in the first column of the first workbook. If there is a match then I want to take the associated price from the second workbook and place it in a cell to the right of the corresponding part number in the first book - actually in the first open cell in the third column. I wish to do this automatically via macro, or otherwise, for all part numbers in the second workbook. The macro will also need to recognize that some part numbers in the second workbook may not appear in the first workbook in which case that part number is skipped.
The end product is my first workbook that has been transformed from two columns of data to three columns of data - one part number and two price points although not all part numbers will have the two price points. If it helps I can copy the data in the second workbook and paste it in to a second worksheet in the first workbook and do all the work in the one workbook.
