Searching For Differences Between Columns

Jun 2, 2007

I've got a spreadsheet which lists reference numbers and a value of each one on for two different weeks which looks like this (please ignore the ....'s - I was trying to illustrate the colums clearly but the spaces seem to get removed when I post this)

ref(week 1):...........Value (week 1):......ref (week 2):....Value (week 2):
123456...................£100.23...............123456.............£100.23
113456...................£123.45...............147258.............£75.32
147258...................£74.25.................978645.............£1000.02

What I want to do is compare the value for week 1 and week 2 for each reference number. The problem is that not all the reference numbers for week 1 will be in week 2, and not all the reference numbers in week 2 will have appeared in week 1. I would like to know if there's a way that excel can identify a specific reference number, search for the values for this in week one and week two, and display any differences between these, (e.g. on the above spreadsheet I would like to identify that ref 123456 appears in both weeks and that the balance is the same, reference 147258 appears in both but the value is different, and that reference 113456 & reference 978645 do not appear in both weeks).

Compare Columns & List Differences

Dec 26, 2006

I have included a small example file. What I would like to do is compare column A - Code on -CORP REC - on first sheet, with column A -code -SUPR REC on the second sheet. Then compare the differences and insert them into the third worksheet - discrepancy -Column A- Code and Column B Name.

Also is it possible to convert all the uppercase names on sheet one to lowercase as I would like the discrepancy sheet to names to be in lower case.

If other threads list exactly this I apologize. I am not really good at using others for adaption. but I can try if you want to direct me

Compare 2 Columns & Show Differences

Aug 21, 2007

So I have two worksheets: W1 and W2.

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.

Analyzing Differences In Date And Time Data Presented In Two Columns?

Apr 24, 2014

I am wondering if there is way to analayse date and time data in a way that would allow me to look at time differences.

I have two columns of data, one has the date and time an entry was made onto a client database, the other shows the date and time an amendment or deletion was made.

What I would like is a formula that shows the time period difference between the two entries.

So for example if one column shows 14/02/2014 14:26 and the other shows 14/02/2014 14:28 it would show 1 (minute) as the result.

I have over 1000 entries to look at and manually it is taking a looooooooong time!

Excel 2003 :: How To Show Differences And Count Between 2 Columns Of Text

Aug 5, 2012

Have Excel 2003. I have

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.

Web Query: Compare Columns & Date Time Stamp Differences

Oct 10, 2007

I have two identical web query's on the same sheet. One from column A to column I and the other one from column K to column S, and both have 404 rows. The one on the left (from column A to I) autorefreshes every 60 minutes and the one on the right (from column K to S) autorefreshes every 4 minutes. I want to subtract the numbers in column Q from column G and the ones in column R from column H, and in both cases if the result is bigger than 0 to place a timestamp in column Y(for Q-G), and in column Z (for R-H). I tried with NOW formula, but the timestamp changed every time the web query from the right autorefreshed, no matter of the result. I guess that I have to use VBA codes...but I'm not good at that .

Searching Columns From Right To Left

Jul 6, 2009

I have 12 columns of numeric data in cells AA80 through AL80. Beginning with the cell on the far right (AL80), return the value if >0. Otherwise, proceed to the cell to the immediate left (AK80) and return the value if >0, otherwise proceed to the next left cell...all the way to AA80. I tried this by nesting IF functions, but have too many IF functions to nest. Lintcoop posted a similar thread in 2008 but with text data.

Searching 3 Ranges/columns Of Cells

Apr 1, 2009

I am trying to search three columns on a worksheet, that contain a range of customers, product names and the amount of that product sold to the to the customer.
On a separate worksheet I have created a table, which I hope will show the customer, the product and the amount sold. So basically I need either a formula or piece of code that can match the customer and product, along with the amount sold and display it in one table. The data is by nature not kept in alpha or numerical order and my problem lies in being able to search through each row and extrapolate the necessary figure.

Searching Multiple Columns On Same Sheet

Mar 26, 2009

Fall - Columns A-G
Spring - Columns I-O
Summer - Columns Q-W
Unduplicated - Columns Y-AD

I am needing to take each student in the Unduplicated section and see which terms they attended. If they attended a specific term, I need to grab a piece of data from that term and put it in over in the undulicated area.

The only way I could think to do this is with three separate searches. This is probably grossly inefficient and so far it has not worked at all. I have posted below the code I am currently using. Again this code is not workin at all.

Searching Columns For A Month Then Moving Data To Userform

Mar 17, 2014

I have an excel spreadsheet where the columns have the 12 months of the year in Row 1. What I need is code that will find the month (from the column) which I select (via a listbox in a userform) and then go down that column and move the data that corresponds to that month to the userform.

So, If I select January from my userform, all data below January will then be moved to the userform and the same thing will occur with each month I select. I know how to move the data from the sheet to the userform, I just don't know how to match my data with the selected month.

Value Differences

Nov 22, 2007

I have two colums with 1000 rows for column 1 and 500 for column 2 that shows gps coordinates. I want to work out the distances between the gps coordinates but want the answer only if it is less than 30 kilometres.The formulae must do the following

a1-b1 and compare the answer to a1-(b2:b1000) and give me the smalles answer in column c.

I want the closest gps coordinate to A1. Even if i do vlookup first there might still be a closer gps coordinate in row 501 than just subtracting A1-B1

Matches And Differences Between Two Lists

Sep 21, 2009

I am trying to compare matches and differences in two lists in order to pull statistics from them.

I have a production schedule I make at the start of the week (list 1) and compare that to what I actually ran at the end of the week (list 2). I would like to produce the following from these two lists;

- a list (list 3) that shows all the orders I didn't run in my original schedule
- a way of summing the number of matches (of work order #s) in the two lists (list 1 and list 2)
- and way of extracting the corresponding machine hours I did / did not run from the two lists

I have provided text boxes on the attached excel file to better explain my problem.

VBA To Compare And Highlight Differences

Aug 3, 2013

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

1 Count For Differences In Lists

Jun 28, 2009

I'm looking to compare a number of duplicate lists to an original. If a duplicate list contains 1 or more different values to the original, I want to return a value of 1. For example:

Original list
Value 1
Value 2
Value 3

Duplicate 1
Value 4
Value 2
Value 1

Count = 1

Duplicate 2
Value 1
Value 4
Value 5

Count = 1

I'd then like to sum the counts. Ideally this would all take place in the one formula, but I can split them into different cells if necessary. I can't use macros for this.

Differences & Incompatibilities Across Versions

Aug 26, 2008

I may be creating a small Excel-based VBA application for a client on a semi-formal basis. I personally use Windows XP with Office XP installed, but I'm concerned about the possibility of serious differences between versions of Windows and Excel that may cause my code to fail on other machines.

I don't think I need to cater to any version of Excel BEFORE that in Office XP, but I probably do need to cater for versions after it. That's Office 2003, Office 2007 and Office for Vista,

Compass Direction Differences

Jul 12, 2006

I'm trying to do is take the difference of two wind directions but need the actual difference not the true mathematical difference. For example:

Wind direction 350 was forecasted
Wind direction 020 was observed
The difference is 030 degrees off not 330 degrees.

How do I do a formula to state the true difference not numeric?

I was figuring these conditions:
- if the number is above 180 & below 360 just subtract 180
- if the number is below 180 & above 0 just add 180

Using w/ example:
350-180=170
020+180=200
170-200=-030 (then take ABS to get 030)

I'm a weather professional and doing tons of metrics regarding weather parameters.

Compare & Show Differences

Jan 8, 2007

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......

Compare Rows For Differences

May 25, 2007

In attached spreadsheet, I have run my marco on Col A to tag which records are duplicates (macro in workbook). Now, of the records that are tagged "DUP", I would like to find which cells in Cols B, C, D, etc. have changed - ie., compare the first "DUP" record to the second "DUP" record. Some records and 2 DUPs, others have 3, 4, etc. I only want to compare the tagged "DUP" groups. Changing the cell color (or other type of tagging) the difference is acceptable.
