I have 2 sheets that either contain the exactly or close to same data. I have Sheet1 and Sheet2, and I want to highlight ALL cells in Sheet2 that are not the same as the ones in Sheet1. That is, I need to give a cell in Sheet2 a different background color (to highlight) if:
the cell in Sheet2 has a different value than the cell of the same location in Sheet1
the cell in Sheet2 is blank but the cell of the same location in Sheet1 has something in it
the cell in Sheet2 has something but the cell of the same location in Sheet1 has none.
All highlighting needs to be done in Sheet2. The problem with the codes that are already available in this forum seem to have problems when the ranges of cells used in the two sheets are different (out of bounds, etc...)
I have the following code, which works great, but I need the cells to highlight only when the difference is more or less than 5%
how can I adjust for this?
Code: Sub RunCompare()Dim sheet1 As String Dim sheet2 As String sheet1 = InputBox("What is the First Sheet Name?") sheet2 = InputBox("What is the Second Sheet Name?") Call compareSheets(sheet1, sheet2)
The formula would basically need to check each character sequentially in both cells[starting from the left most character] till there is a mismatch and then display the characters that follow in the second cell (including the character with a mismatch) in the output cell.
it basically looks like this: ABC1234 ABD1239
I want to get D1239 as the result after using a formula.
Is there a way this logic could be extended to 12 characters?
I have two columns of values and I want to compare them and return differing values. So I named the ranges "A" and "B" so if your in B but not in A I want that value in C.
I started with a vlookup but that doesn't seem appropriate to the way I was using it.
I'm looking at trying to view 1 large keyword phrase list of about 40,000 phrases to another large list.
All I want is a macro, I can assign a button to. Click it and in a new sheet it shows only the rows of data that are different.
I have tried googling it.
I found 1 that looked very good (Not that I really know anything about coding, but I couldnt get it to work.
I'm using excel 2007. As a note the link was here. [url]
I might as well post the code,, but I just couldn't get it to work, shame, because it sounds like it could be what I was after, I'll post it now, but if anyone can help me with this that would be great

I have two lists (List A and List B) of hundreds of items that reside in a single worksheet. Some items may or may not occur in both lists. Every item in both lists has a value on the range of 1-50. I am only interested in those items that occur in both lists. I need to find the difference of the values for each of these items (List A - List B), including negative values.
I have tried many variations of formulas using VLOOKUP with no luck. I cannot figure out how to accomplish this with a Pivot Table. I want to make a macro for this.
I have a string compare function that compares two strings and return 1 if matches. Each string has multiple words separated by ",", and all these words need to be matched.
This function is done, but I want to add a little feature to it. For each string, if one word cannot be found in the second string, change that word's size to 14, fontstyle to bold.
Function StringCompare(value1 As String, value2 As String) As Integer ''this function compare the words from 2 strings ''each word is seperated by "," and the order of these words does not matter ''return 1 if matches, 0 if not match Dim v As Variant, u As Variant Dim i As Integer Dim answer As Integer, answer1 As Integer, answer2 As Integer answer1 = 1 answer2 = 1
I need to look colB and colC should be equal to colH and colI, IF both cells matched, then copy the EmpNo(ColB or colH) and Counter(colC or colI) get the difference of values in another colomn
If there is any row for Employee or Counter issing from either of tables populate with RED in either of 2 colomns,
for example:at row 17, table 1 has a missing colC, and row 17(table1) = row18(table2), it should populate the row17 for table2, as a reference.
I have 1 workbook contains 2 Sheet with Name and Address in Column A,B,C,D. Sheet1 always contains New Data of Name and Address and its import from another software.
I need a macro to Compare these 2 sheets, Highlight the rows which is not in sheet2
I have 2 ranges named MASTER and SUBSET and 1 range named ANSWER. I want to compare ranges MASTER and SUBSET and copy the difference to ANSWER. The ranges have the same number of columns but different number of rows. Sample data is below.
Ideally, I would like a VBA solution executed from a userform button.
I have a workbook that compares two sheets of data by taking the difference between the two. Some of the cells contain N/A for value, so when I take the difference of two sheets, it gives me #Value! error. My question is how can I format it, so when the cell contains text it displays N/A or if its a value: it takes the difference and populates the value.
Is it possible to compare two columns side by side to highlight/change color of difference between the two cells
I need to compare and show the changes to the record from previous version and generate a report which will highlight the changes (Rather than just saying that record has changed It should tell what has changed)
I know,there are "compare sheets" threads everywhere,but i think every thread is different,because we want different comparison and different results
To the point now.What i actually want to do is a "turnout" of difference between two sheets.Both sheets use columns A and B. On column A there is a code and column B the quantity of the code. So obvisously i want to compare those two columns of these two sheets,and paste the results on a different sheet. The difficult part is that the same code of a cell in Column A with its column B must be sorted so i can see the difference...else it would be a mess.
I put the following together. The is that it loops through row A until it gets to the last cell. For each loop it loops down the column to the last row of data looking at the same cell on sheet 2.
But I'm having trouble with the Range(RngCell, Y).select portion. As the active cell can't be a static column letter I need to reference the active column.
Code: Sub SheetComparison() Dim rngCell As Range, rngMyRange As Range Dim lngLastRow As Long
We have a software that we use for budgeting, and every now and then, we have to export and validate the data in Excel to be in sync with the system. What I would like to do is after extracting the data into a spreadsheet, compare it with VBA and create a report in a seperate sheet, that shows the differences between sheet1 and sheet2. The data has 11 different dimensions from column A to K and is in the same order both in the master and recon files.

I have found a compare macro which only compares and finds the exact match of the sheets in exact cells Sheet1(A1) 1 Sheet2(A1) 1 Sheet1(A2) 2 Sheet2(A2) 2 Sheet1(A3) 3 Sheet2(A3) 3 Sheet1(A4) 4 Sheet2(A4) 5 Sheet1(A5) 5 Sheet2(A5) 6
If this was the case then everything as of cell A4 would be marked as an error, even though I have the value in a different cell in the next sheet.
I have two spreadsheets each with "Vendor names" on column A. sheet 1 is my master sheet and sheet 2 is the sheet that has the information i like to carry over to sheet 1 when the conditions are true. Hence when colum A on sheet 1 equals column A on sheet 2 copy the range of cells b-h in sheet2 to match to sheet1.
here is my code i figuere that if i stared with two columns it would be rather simple however i cant even get my own code to work. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. By the way my spreadsheet is 6,000+ lines long
Here is the code
Sub compares() Dim rng1 As Range Dim rng2 As Range Dim RowNo As Long
Set rng1 = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1", Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)) Set rng2 = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1", Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)) For Each c In rng1 If Application.WorksheetFunction. CountIf(rng2, c) > 0 Then RowNo = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(c, rng2) c.Offset(, 1).Resize(1, 2).Value = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("B" & RowNo, "C" & RowNo).Value End If Next c End Sub
i have a list of information on one spreadsheet, for instance in column A i have countrys in column b i have descriptions and in colum d i have names. there is several hundred lines of this information and someone has gone in and edited some, taken a few lines out etc, i was just wanting to know how i can compare the two sheets to see what changes have been made? Or what now doesn't match up etc?
Sheet summary2 has the table. And I am looking to compare and add the data (from all sheets Date 1 to Date31) . I am looking to add those values (yes as 1) in my summary 2 sheet for the range E3 to H14 ...if it mathces as MF8330 or x543 or c5045 or x940.
The code below compares values on sheet 4 column A to sheet 3 column A and then colors a cell "Green" (Temporary), later I will place data from sheet 4 into sheet 3.
I dont know why but when it finds data on sheet 4 that is not 100% numeric it errors out.
Run-time error '91' Object variable or With block variable not set.
The data in sheet 4 column A is primarily numeric, there are and always will be some numeric/alpha strings. I can change the value of sheet 4 A2 to "123x" from "123" and the code stops as described. Leaving sheet 4 A1 as 100% numeric, which works fine.
I'm not 100% sure how to describe what I need to do but here goes. I have two similar spread sheets. The first contains all the products in a shop with the new prices and new item codes.
The second sheet has all the old item codes old prices and some duplicates and items that do not exist any more. Both spread sheets have lots of column but only 3 that I need to worry about. Item code, Product Name and Price.
What I have tried is using the If command (in the item code column) to search through the Product Names (on the updated sheet) and put the right item code next to the right product (on the old sheet) but it didn't work.
I will like a macro to compare row one to row one on sheet 2 column A. If the number is the same then it will compare from the same row column K from sheet 1 and column m from sheet2. If it is less then copy to sheet4 and highlight in red, if more than highlight in blue and if equal green.
If the record exists in both sheets then compare the value in col. H for both records, if the value is different then copy the entire record to a third sheet.
There are 16,000 rows of data to do comparisons. I have been thinking about a Vlookup method as one choice, my thought is this going to be slow. I have read about vba having some comparison choices, vbbinary, vbtext, but I do not have any knowledge of this, so cannot intelligently choose what options to begin w/.
I have 2 sheets that have 15 columns and approximately 200 rows on average, but the number of rows varies from week to week. I need to compare the information on sheet 3 to the information on sheet 1 by row. There are actually 3 worksheets total, but the 2nd worksheet is not involded in this macro. If the 2nd-14th columns are an exact match, I need to have the date from the first column and the notes from the 15th column (the formatting has to be copied too!!!) on the first sheet copied over to the matching row on the third sheet into the 1st and 15th columns, and the 16th-18th rows on the first sheet need to be copied over to the third sheet as well. After all this is done, the row on the first sheet needs to be deleted.
I need it to compare all of the rows this way, and unfortunately, I think it is going to have to loop through every row on the 1st sheet for every row it is comparing from the 3rd sheet.
I know this will take quite a while to compare, but given this takes me a couple hours on average, letting the macro run for 5 or 10 minutes is a vast improvement
I'm trying to cmpare two excel spreadsheets, each one of then have 3 columns with column A being the KEY to lookup and compare records into another spreadsheet. So in my example spreadsheet If u take cell ZVNA!A1 and lookup for values in ZSKU!A* and find a match then comapre the B1 and C1 in respective ZSKU! Column B and C. If there is a record for A1 in ZVNA then comapre it's column B value with column B value of ZSKU, and column C value with column C value of ZSKU. I have not used macro/vba before so if you could tell me formula based solution that will be good or point me how to use macro. I did Vlookup but it did not return me 100% accurate result may be bec my format of column is not accurate.
