Comparing 2 Excel Columns And Displaying Discrepancies
Feb 18, 2014
I have an excel file with 2 different columns filled with letter combinations which I need to update every now and then. I would like a code that will automatically fill in the codes not available in each list at the next columns.
See attached Sample Data to look how it will look like : Sample Data.xlsx
I have two groups of lottery results. The first group has the last year results of 200 rows, and the second group displays this year results of 100 rows. I want to start comparing the first row of the second group (green group) with all the rows of the first group( blue group)
I have currently browsed the forums and have came up with a code to compare two columns from two separate excel books and then highlight anything matching with the CompareRange. Here is a few more details about the problem:
- I have two excel sheets. And data like this in each sheet:
(First Sheet) (Second Sheet) -A B N O -7 .7 3 .56 -6 .6 8 .45 -5 .5 9 .55 -4 .4 11 .2 -3 .3 8 .22 -2 .2 9 .55 -1 .1 8 .54
As you can see, given this example nothing should be highlighted once the macro is run since nothing from Column A or B from the first sheet matches directly with Column N & O from the second sheet. The problem is that with the macro (module) I have come up with will highlight "3" from Column A and ".2" from Column B, just because they appear in Column N & Column O respectivally. What I want: I only want a number to be highlighted if both the numbers "7" & ".7" are matched in the same row of Column N & Column O on the other spreadsheet. To be a little more precise, I'll give an example. Say I edited the data to be like this.
(First Sheet) (Second Sheet) A B N O 7 .7 3 .56 8 .45 8 .45 5 .5 9 .55 11 .4 11 .2 3 .3 8 .22 2 .2 9 .55 1 .1 8 .54
With this data, I would want the second row of A & B ("8" & ".45") highlighted, while my error "3" of Column A and ".2" of Column B is not highlighted. Also, I would like it if row 4 of Column A & B ("11" & ".4") is not highlighted at all either, just because in O it is .2 and in B it would be .4 even though the 11's match. Attached is the macro/module I have entered in which is working kind of correctly but producing the mistake. And also, (kind of a lesser problem), both the files with data will have the same header, example would be if Column A & Column N both had "Dogs" as it's title in Row 1 and Column B & O both had "Cats" as it's title in Row 1. Is there anyway the macro can be adjusted so it compares those two columns between the two workbooks without me even having to select or assigning a range?
HTML Code: Sub Find_Matches() Dim Column1 As Range Dim Column2 As Range
I do backups on a daily schedule. Given the spreadsheet called "A" which is a list of all clients and current backup policy as of last week, and the file "B" which is a snapshot list of servers in our supported environment, does someone have a clever way to determine which systems are in "B" that are not in "A"? The clients are listed in column M in spreadsheet A and this column may have multiple client names listed due to a policy that includes multiple clients in the netbackup schedule.
I have 2 worksheets. One has Employees and the devices they have. Last name, First Name, Device each in their own colulmn. Many have more than 1 device so they have multiple entries on seperate rows.
Another worksheet has Employees and thier location. Last name, First Name, Location. Again, all on seperate columns.
It would look something like this
Sheet1 Lastname Firstname Device Johnson
[Code]...
So I'm tasked with combining them into 1 sheet with last name, first name, device and location. The issues I'm having are:
1) A team member could have multiple devices 2) A last and/or first name can appear many times, so a simple Vlookup against lastname won't work - it has to somehow also compare against both.
Need a excel macro which can compare 2 xls files and highlight cells which are different in the 2 files its like a slightly advanced one >a prompt which asks file 1 after selecting file a prompt whichasks for file 2 ..then on running it should highlight cells in file two which are different from file one Both file have same layout ie if file one has n columns in n worksheets file 2 will also have same . So the comparison should be done for each worksheet in both file and cells should be highlighted ..
I have just written a macro to validate/clean up some data which I get on a monthly basis. Some of the columns come from a pdf file and thus excel recognises these as strings. I have written some code that would convert this string to an integer which runs fine when I step through the code. However when I run the macro from a button the number value goes from e.g. 5000 to 0.
The code is below:
VB: Sub Condition2() For k = 8 To LastRow Worksheets("Bordx Format").Cells(k, i - 1).Value = CDec(Cells(k, i - 1).Value) Next k End Sub
1) if Column M has the value "School" then corresponding value in column N should have oly "Bus","Subject","Teacher". if values in Column B other than "Bus","Subject","Teacher" then the cell should populate RED Color.
2) if Column M has the value "College" then corresponding value in column N should have oly "Box","Madam","World". if values in Column B other than "Box","Madam","World" then the cell should populate RED Color.
I have a table with many columns of data on sheet1
Is it possible to have sheet2 have ... oh I dont know... say 5 columns. In which I can choose the headers that correspond to the headers in sheet1. Therefore comparing the columns that I want simply by changing the header?
What I'm attempting to do is analyze data on spread sheet. I've attached an example. what I need to do is compare columns "E" and "I". But I have numerous means of comparing the data. I think I will need three different formulas which is okay and am unsure if VBA is better. For example: I compare "E2" and "I2"...ect: 1) I would need to compare complete cell 2) I would need to compare the first three digits 3) I would need to compare the middle digits If you towards the end you can see that some will compare to a BLANK cell if column "E" is ever blank. I first tried using countif but couldn't get it done. I only need totals that do not match in this category.i.e. 25 of 140 do not match.
I have column A which contains a range of part numbers, and column B is an On Hand quantity of that part number.
Column C is just like column A, in that it contains the same part numbers but it has about 1,000 additional part numbers that are obsolete. Column D has the On Hand quantity for Column C.
Column A and B are old information as far as the On Hand quantities, where Column C and D are up to date On Hand. The problem is the old outdated part numbers in column C.
How do I make column A and column C match, but not lose their respective On Hand quantities? I know this sounds discombobulated, but basically I need column A's part numbers, with column D's on hand quantity.
I'm trying to compare addresses in a worksheet, column A and column C have the addresses in them, in column A there are 44063 rows and column C has 43751 rows , both columns should have the same number of rows in each column because they should have the same number of addresses in each column but they dont so what i need to find out is which addresses from column A arent in column C and which addresses in column C arent in Column A and have the result put in column D.
workbook1 column A has tag numbers, workbook2 column A also has tag numbers. I want to compare the 2 columns and if the tag number in book 1 is also in book 2 i want it to return 25B-F138-28-01 in column B workbook1.
I have need to do a comparison of 2 values located in different columns. As this is almost impossible to describe in text format, I have included a spreadsheet showing exactly the problem. Im sure the solution will involve INDEX and MATCH but every permutation I have tried has failed (possibly theres another way?).
with hello and regards two all members and administrators i have this table COUNTRY1EXPORT$COUNTRY2IMPORT$SAME CODEEXPORT$IMPORT$30% MINOR 1019011710190294 102107410210138 10290161029029 10511271051111 105191271051970 106391271063947 10690191069047
Column A: Country1 Export Code Column B: Export value for Country 1 Column C: Country2 Import Code Column D: Import value for Country 2 ------------------- NOW --------------------- i want to fill in Column E to H with a macro Column E: same code in Column A and Column C Column F: export value for same code (from Column B) Column G: import value for same code (from Column D) Column H: 30 percent of Minor Value for example if F3 is 9000 and G3 is 1000 then H3 will be 2700 that is 30 percent of F3
I need to compare data across two columns: the date a claim was filed (column T), and the date it was resolved (column AH).
On my summary worksheet, I'm displaying the claim details for each month. I need to show how many of the claims filed (T) in each month are resolved (AH) - and for this output I'm not concerned about when they were resolved. This lets us track if there's still money due to flow out of the coffers for old claims. For example, there were 5 claims filed in July, and 4 of them are resolved. I want my summary tab to return a value of "Completed" beside July when I enter the resolution date for that last one, and "Pending" until then.
All the fields I'm describing are formatted as dates - including the name of the month (eg, "July" is displayed because I've put a custom format of "MMMM" on 7/1/08).
I've been playing around with countif and sumproduct but can't quite figure this one out.
As you can see there are certain numbers that are missing between column B and A. I want to know which of the numbers that are present in column B are missing in column A ...any handy calculation ?
I have data in column A which is the correct data. I also have data in other columns that I would like to compare to column A. If the data is the same, then it moves beside it, if not then it leaves a blank cell.
I have looked for macros and formulas to do this for ages but i cant seem to find one. Here is an example
BEFORE
A B C D 1 1 2 1 2 4 3 2 3 5 4 4 4 7 5 6 5 - - 7 6 - - - 7 - - -
AFTER
A B C D 1 1 - 1 2 - 2 2 3 - 3 - 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 - 6 - - 6 7 7 - 7
Right now i have a list of data in text format....they are stock tickers. One column is about 2000 entries long and the other is 500 entries long. I need to compare the two columns together and highlight the entries in the long column when they match to an entry in the 500 column. I have tried so many different formulas and conditional formatting on my own and can't figure it out
I want Excel to compare two columns of numbers. Column R has 1000 entries, beginning with the number 1 and ending with the number 1000. Column S will have from approx. two hundred to as many as six or seven hundred entries, looking something like this: 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 18 . . . . . . 990, 992, 995, 996, 999, 1000. I want Excel to compare column S with column R and display the difference in Column T. Column T will therefore look like: 1,2,4, 7, 8, 9, 12, 16, 17, 19 . . . . . 899, 991, 993, 994, 997, 998. I have to do this multiple times, does Excel have a built-in function(s) that can do this or do I need to write a macro? The numbers can be formatted as text if neces- sary
I'm trying to determine if one date meets the criteria to be considered 'on time'. I have two columns: estimated completion date and completion date. I want to compare the completion date to the estimated completion date and if completion date is <= completion date but is NOT = 1/1/2099 then I met my date. I've tried this several different ways and problem is I cannot make it work.
When estimated completion date is 1/1/2099 'on time' should be 'no' When estimated completion date is not 1/1/2099 but is greater than completion date 'on time' should be 'no' When completion date is <= estimated completion date and estimated completion date is not equal to 1/1/2099 'on time' should be 'yes'
And I have a null date to deal with also but if I can satisfy the first 3 criteria I can manipulate the null values manually.
I have two columns of card numbers (16 digits) in text format, as column A and column B. In column C, I'm trying to figure out how to compare column A and B for matches, and display the match in column C, if there is a hit.
I have two columns A and B. I need a count of how many times a value in B is greater than the same row in A. I don't want to insert a new column (e.g. for if statements to add up).
Can I insert a countif at the top to do that? I tried various countif variations but could not find the right one. Additionally any other option that does not involve adding new columns/rows.
I work in a School and need to create a points awards system based on GCSE Grades.
I have predicted and actual grades for each pupil in columns. I need to figure out how I can calculate an award point for this. i.e. if the predicted grade is an A and the Pupil gets a C this would be a minus 1 point score. I need to do this for all subjects and add a total.
I have attached a spreadsheet with a demonstration of what I require. I have created formulas to do what I require however I see it as terrible programming but I cannot figure out another more efficient way.
I am working on a survey analysis and I'm having trouble comparing two columns.
Ex. 100 surveys Column A being age (scale of 1-5) Column B being willingness to pay (scale 1-5)
I am trying to correlate age with willingness to pay by saying =countif(a1:100 = "1" and (B1:B100 = "1" and "2")) Basically checking to see if the 1st age group has a strong willingness to pay; I would repeat with B1:B100 = "4" and "5".
When comparing collumns to find out if the values are the same or different I use this formula:
=IF((A2)=(B2);"same";"different")In some cases I see the results are not OK. I see the same values but the result states "different". This might be caused by spaces around the value that does not exist in the other cell I think.
File is attached, the green marking show what I expect to see, the yellow marking shows what puzzles me.
