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 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 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)

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)
For example if the
Column 1 (Previous Version) :The structure contains Wire, Bolt, Stmaps etc
Column 2 (Current Version) : The structure contains Wire, Bolt, Stamps etc
Data Changed: YES
In report is should show two columns side by side and in Column 2 it should highlight "Stamps"
I have a spreadsheet with two worksheets (sheet 1 and 2). Sheet 1 has all the current employee data on it e.g. employee number, Forename, Surname, Address, Pay rate, etc. Sheet 2 was last month's employee data in the same format. I want to compare the two worksheets on worksheet 3 and highlight any changes or just put the changes on worksheet 3 (this would be better).
The problem is employees might be on different rows on each worksheet and some employees might not be on one spreadsheet due to staff leaving and starting.
Each staff member has a unique employee number to identify them. So I need a formula that matches the employee number and then looks in the cells in sheet 1 and 2 and if different puts the value in sheet 1 into the cell in sheet 3.
I need a code that will look at each row on sheet 2 then highlight any cell that is different to the corresponding row/cell on sheet 1.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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...)
Suppose we have 2 cells
Cell 1
Cell 2
O/P needed
abc123
abd123
d123
xyz112
xyz113
3
abc911
axz111
xz111
abc119
abc130
30
abc121
abc122
2
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?
What I'm trying to do
A1 = Hello John, my name is Steve, how was your day?
B1 = Hello John, my name is Steve, was day?
I need C1 to return:

Is this possible?
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.
=VLOOKUP(B, A, A, FALSE)
Is there a function better for this.
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 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.
Here's an example:
List A
W 29
X 11
Y 13
Z 4
List B
V 8
W 10
Y 30
Z 6
Where the results would be:
W = 19
Y = -17
Z = -2
I am trying to modify the macro listed below for the following example. It would work when I have only numerals in the cell but this new query, the cell has both letters and numbers.
I want to compare column "M" from worksheet one to column "B" in worksheet two. If the information matches, then copy the value adjacent from worksheet two column "A" to worksheet one column "L".
Here is the macro that worked for me using a search of only numerals.
figuring out why the data doesn't copy?
Macro:
Sub merge_accession_PS_rad_productivity()
Dim rng2 As Range, c2 As Range, cfind As Range
Dim x, y

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 am trying to compare two lists and extract from one to add back to the source. However neither are alphabetically.
List 1
accessories
belt
boots
cardigan
coat
glasses
gloves
hat
List 2
tshirt
tshirt
jumper
jumper
jumper
tshirt
shoes
cardigan
So i would the vlookup to add automatically back to list 1 tshirt, jumper and shoes.
List 1 would now look like this
accessories
belt
boots
cardigan
coat
glasses
gloves
hat
tshirt
jumper
shoes
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.
Example:
MASTER
aaa apple
aab banana
aac grape
SUBSET
aab banana
ANSWER
aaa apple

I would like to compare % difference between date range through pivot table
Date RangeProductAmt
1st weekABC1000
2nd WeekABC2000
3rd WeekABC1259
1st weekXYZ3000
2nd WeekXYZ4000

How to plot a Pivot table to compare the % difference between 3rd Week Vs 2nd Week Vs 1 Week for each product through pivot table?
Sheet1 is Main Sheet which never will be amended and these numbers will be a source for pulling mathematical functions
See attached :
Sheet1.png
Don't be bothered about cell colors etc. They are for my reference
Sheet2
Will contain same Problem Ticket numbers but different (or same) values with number of 'Linked Incidents'
See screenshot
Sheet2.png
Based on Problem ID 10248
Main sheet shows 92 Linked Incidents
Value on Sheet two brings 93
If A5 Sheet2 value can be found in ColumnA Sheet1, look for a number in ColumnC, same ROW and compare it to C7 in Sheet2 ?
Bring up difference value, which in this case would be one.
How would you add rows with the same name and then if they are equal in added amount, to highlight them in red?
example:
a b c
xyz x 50 (highlight in red)
zzyy x 50
zzyy z 50
zzyy x 50
xyz z 50 (highlight in red)
zzyy is x = 100 and z = 50 so it would not be highlighted in red.
but xyz is x =50 and z =50 so it is highlighted.
Please refer to attached sheet. i have 2 sets of data. I need to compare the data and highlight.
First compare each cell in column W with each cell column L.
If match is found then compare the corresponding cell in column U with the value in column N.
Example:
W1 matches with L1 and U1 matches with N1 so do not highlight.
W2 matches with L7 and U2 does not match with N7 and hence highlight.
If value is different then highlight the cell in column U.
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.

Is there a way I can compare the names in column A to those in both B&C and highlight them a certain color if they are the same?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?

I receive a daily spreadsheet which contains (amongst other information) a column of postcodes. I'd like to run a macro which compares these postcodes with a list of other postcodes, and then to colour highlight each instance of that post code in the daily spreadhseet.
I have been able to find and modify a macro but that searches for one post code at a time and then adds a comments box to the cell.
Instead of copying that piece of code and editing it for the several hundred post codes I need to "look up" against, I'd like to know how to create a list of post codes in the macro, so that the macro searches the first post code in the lookup list, finds and highlights each cell instance, then moves onto the next post code in the lookup list, until the end of the lookup list. I would like this as the editing of the lookup list would be much easier than editing paragraphs of code.
I have read other threads dealing with this issue, but none seem to help me! I have a workbook with two worksheets, both with the same number of rows in them. I want each cell in worksheet1 to be compared to the cell in the same row and column in worksheet2, and if the worksheet1 cell is greater in value then the cell should turn red. I have tried the previously mentioned tactic of selecting the whole column in worksheet2, assigning it a name, selecting the column in worksheet1, and applying conditional formating based on the name. However, the result is always that the whole column in worksheet1 turns red, regardless of whether the cells are greater in value or not.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHere is the scenario. I am running a business and each day I download my orders for the day. The information includes customer names and addresses. The customer name is for example in column E. We will call this "Book1".
I have a second workbook that I use to store bad customer information. i.e. customers that I do not wish to sell to. The information stored here is customer name and address e.g. column A - customer name, column B - 1st line of address etc. This will be "Book2".
I wish to programmatically be able to compare customer names in column E Book1 to the customer names stored in column A Book2. Any matches found should highlight the rows (i.e. orders) in Book1.
I have tried to make this clear as possible. I want to be able to do this as a macro hence programmatically so when I click a button this comparison/highlighting takes place.
Looking for some code to do a simple compare column A to Column B (row 1 contains headings) and highlight any differences.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two cells with values that are strings.
I would like to know of a macro that can compare each two cells(start from E2 and compare with E3)to see if the values are NOT equal.
If they are equal, do nothing and if they are NOT, highlight the value.
Example:
compare E2&E3, E4,E5,E6,E7,.... if for example E2&E3, E4,E5,E6,E7,.... each hat same string, do nothing, but if they were not the same highlight it with red.
This code checks two cells and highlights one cell when there is duplicate, I like the opposite one, but don't know what to change!
Code:
Sub CompareCells() Dim r As Range, cell As Range Range

' clear all colors from selection Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
' loop through cells and compare Set r = Selection Set r = Selection.Resize(r.Rows.Count + 1)
For Each cell In r If cell.Offset(1, 0).Value cell.Value Then
cell.Offset(1, 0).Interior.ColorIndex = 3 End If Next End Sub
