Comparing 2 Sheets And Highlight / Show The Differences?
Nov 8, 2013
With Excel i'd like to compare the stock of about 6000 different products from my supplier on a daily base. I want to know the changes in the inventory (indicated by Yes, No or Low). Is it also possible to show newly added/ removed products?What is the best way to do this?
I have to worksheets I get from two different dbases do the output is slightly different in each. What I need is simple, (I think). Just need to get a VBA that looks from Sheet1 to Sheet2 for a doc number. If it's not on Sheet 2, simply highlight it BLUE on Sheet, AND then looks from Sheet2 to Sheet1, and if it's not on Sheet1, then highlight the entry on Sheet2 GREEN.
I.E. SHEET1SHEET2 COL ACOL A 11111AAAAA 22222BBBBB 3333311111 AAAAA44444
I have two employee rosters, "yesterday" and "today", with same columns heading(First, Last, Location, Status, etc, etc, etc . I want to compare both rosters and highlight the differences on "today's" roster if an employee's information (location, status, etc) changes from yesterday.
Another change could be, an employee may not be on today's roster as he was yesterday and I could have a new employee on today's that wasn't on yesterday's. Is there a way to copy the row/record from yesterdays roster and add him to today's but highlight it so I know that he is gone?
Compare Two Sheets and Highlight Differences (Sheet attached)
I am trying to find a way to compare the cells (example: D4:D12 to the same cell range in another workbook. If the value in D4 is less than D4 in workbook 2 highlight it red and if it is greater highlight it green. I also want a loop to go through the specified range. Of course, the scale of the worksheets is much greater. Another issue I foresee, is that the workbook name that I am comparing to changes every week, so is there a way to handle this change easily?
PART 1 - A record is created - The record is modified once/several times - Only the original record and the last modified record needs to be kept
PART 2 - The differences between the original and the last record need to be highlighted in the spreadsheet. - This has to be repeated for a whole bunch of rows
Currently I am manually deleting the rows and eye-balling the changes. I'm using Excel 2002. I have ASAP Utitilities as well. Although macros are cool, I was hoping I could try with an Add-in or software.
I have attached two excel files for easier understanding of what I am trying to explain. One is named Deviltronics which is our product list, the other is named Supplier which is our suppliers product list. The suppliers product list is updated every hour to tell me of new products, products in stock, products out of stock and discontinued products. I have cut the suppliers file down considerably to get it to fit as an attachment on this thread. They currently have about 800 products. Now for how this is currently working and the problem:
I use the suppliers file to add the products to my website manually (which is fine) by using the information on the suppliers file. I also add the product title, SKU and part number from the suppliers file onto our Deviltronics file, this allows me to keep a record. The reason I need this record is so that I can use either the SKU or part number to search the suppliers file to see if a particular product is still in stock or not. You can distinguish the supplier has a lengthy product list, although we will not be putting all of there stock on our website at least 70% of it will be on there, therefore you can see how much of a lengthy process this is if I want to check the products on a daily basis......
I saw a great code which compared the values in two columns A and B, data such as A123 and then shows, in another column ie C , things in A and not in B and in another column ie D things in B and not in A.
1. W1 has data in Column A, while W2 has none in that column (except for the header row of course). 2. W1 has rows that W2 does not have, and vice-versa.
I need code that will compare three columns in these two sheets. If the data in these three columns for a particular row match between the two worksheets, then for that row, I need the macro to copy the column A cell in W1 to the corresponding column A cell in W2. Finally, I would like an 'x' be placed into a W1 column if a match was found for that row.
The two sheets do not have the same number of rows, but the data being compared in the three columns should combine to form a unique row match between the two worksheets.
Is it possible to compare code that's in two cells and show the differences? It's possible with Notepad++ and an extension but I have hundreds of pages to examine weekly and it's not efficient to do it manually.
List of email addresses in column a List of email addresses in column b
** I would like a formula that will take all the values in column A and compare it to the entire list of entries in column B. Would like it to show in Column C any entries in Column A that ARE NOT in the entire column B.
*Would like it to repeat for entries that are in Column B, but not in Column A and show in D.
*Then would like a count of the differences for each column (that is pretty easy).
It needs to look at the entire list of entries in the column as these will be email addresses. We want to know what is missing from Column A that is not in Column B and what is missing from B that is not in A.
I am running some VBA code that works fine, until I specify a filename that contains embedded blanks. Hopefully, the following code and screen captures will demonstrate what is happening. First the code that opens the files ...
I have 3 spreadsheets that should be exactly the same - with the same data and same positions - is there a way of comparing all 3 to see if this is true and highlight any errors - either by using a master sheet or some kind of conditional formatting
I need a macro that will compare two sheets, find the differences and produce a new third sheet called, results. Both sheets to compare will differ in length of values (one may have 10 numbers to compare, and the other could have 50, Ive attached sample data), and thus this calls for a primary and secondary sheet. I would only like the values which appear in the primary and not the secondary sheet to be reported in the new results sheet.
The problem is that the values never match up, but they are always within a +/- 0.5 window of each other. It would be great to compare the two sheets, to produce a list of the values which appear only in the primary sheet and not the secondary. Im trying to get this to link up to a userform, where the user select the primary sheet (A) and the secondary sheet (B), selects the tolerance, and produce the results sheet (see attached).
1. Got 2 lists in 2 sheets, those I want to compare and all the diffrences in all columns, I want to display in the third sheet. 2. The lists are the same structure. 3.Blad1 or Sheet1 is the list that is the latest. 4.Blad2 or Sheet2 is the list from yesterday.
So i want to compare newest with yesterday and all the diffs come up in the third. So if there is a change in column A to W new planning date or planning status, or a new added row I want these to turn up in blad3 / sheet3. Can´t get my excelfiles to fit the maxupload criteria. Anyone got any idea on how to do this easy? Would like to do it macro wise due to I do couple of macros before this step.
How can I compare two sheets for row differences? Example:
Sheet A: Dept Last Name Annual Salary Hired Date Current Pay 101 Smith, Mary $50K 1/1/2008 $2000 102 Anderson, Julie $40K 2/1/2008 $1500
Sheet B: Dept Last Name Annual Salary Hired Date June August 101 Smith, Mary $50K 1/1/2008 $2000 102 Anderson, Julie $40K 2/1/2008 $1500 101 Kelly,Brian $60K 5/1/2008 $2500
Basically, look at the two sheets and add updated current pay to August. If new entry then copy to sheet B and update for August. If new changes, then copy to a new row in sheet B and update for August. I also only want to compare 5 columns in the first row for all rows in Sheet B. What should I do?
Creating a macro to compare 2 sheets in a workbook and print the differences to a 3rd sheet.
Each sheet will have the same number of fields, 5 columns with the header in the first row.
All values in the cells are integer except for the last field which will be a character.
The key is the value in the 2nd column. If it's not in the other sheet, then it's a new record. If it's a new record then highlight it a color depending on what sheet contains the new record. Now if the key is the same in both sheets, then check the other columns to see what's different. If there is a difference, print the record for both sheets in the third sheet and highlight the differences. I attached a sample of what I want.
I am trying to write a function that will compare the text of cell "A2" to the text of cell "B2" and display cell "A2"'s text characters that didnt match from cell "B2" in column C. Can anyone help me out with writing this formula?
I have 4000 activities in the rows; I want to know if there are changes occur (e.g. duration, dates, quantities & etc.).
I would like to compare the two sheets with the same Columns and Identifiers, Say sheet1 and Sheet2 and I want the result to be in Sheet3. Sheet1 is the target & Sheet2 is the current changes.
I’m trying to figure out how to compare two different versions of a sheet with each other and to identify which lines has changed. Here is a simplified example:
>Microsoft Excel - post data.xls___Running: xl2002 XP : OS = Windows XP (F)ile (E)dit (V)iew (I)nsert (O)ptions (T)ools (D)ata (W)indow (H)elp (A)boutE4J4E5J5E6J6E7J7=BCDEFGHIJ3V1CONCATENATE V2Change check4123123 1012 No Change5456456 465Changed6789789 8 9Changed710 121012 123No ChangeSheet1 [HtmlMaker 2.42] To see the formula in the cells just click on the cells hyperlink or click the Name boxPLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS TABLE IMAGE ON SAME PAGE! OTHEWISE, ERROR OF JavaScript OCCUR.
When using this formula I get an error in cell J12 that reports a no change even though the values has changed. The error occurs due to the blank cell found in cell C7 but I can’t seem to find a way around the problem? (except for adding an if(cell=””;0;cell) before every cell which isn’t really practical in my actual data)
Furthermore my actual data has more the 10.000 lines and +30 columns so if the formula I use for change tracking can be done easier in any other way I would be happy to get some help? Maybe I should even consider a macro?
Not sure if this should be in VBA or Formulas however what im trying to achieve:
I have a data report that i pull today, tomorrow i want to run the same report and see if there are any differences on the report. e.g show data that was not on the previous report.
Id imagine id have a sheet with yesterdays data, sheet with todays data, sheet with Differences that only shows the new lines between the report. Then after i have done i would just create a macro clear the difference sheet so its blank, copy todays data over to yesterdays data and repeat the process daily.
I'm trying to compare cells in 2 sheets, and if those cells are equal, I want to select the whole row that the cell is in, and copy it into a third sheet.
I have two excel sheets (sheet1 and Sheet2) see attached file.
On sheet1 I have the data that I want to compare to sheet2.
I want to go through each row on Column A on sheet1 and compare it to sheet2.
For example on sheet 1 Column A, Row 6 has value of 5, when i compare this value with sheet2. it will not found. I want to highlight this value as Red.
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.
Every day i create a attendence sheet with names, who was attening a club the last 21 days. I need some kind of report showing who is in Sheet1(Today) and not in Sheet2(Yesterday)="new people" and who is in Sheet2 but not in Sheet1 (people that stoped attending, droped out the list).
I tryed with "countif" and "Vlookup" but have to change the formulars on two sheets every day and i would rather like to leave leave the Sheets untouched.
