Compare 2 Different Columns-show Difference

Jun 3, 2007

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


Sub CompareWorksheetRanges(rng1 As Range, rng2 As Range)
Dim r As Long, c As Integer
Dim lr1 As Long, lr2 As Long, lc1 As Integer, lc2 As Integer
Dim maxR As Long, maxC As Integer, cf1 As String, cf2 As String
Dim rptWB As Workbook, DiffCount As Long
If rng1 Is Nothing Or rng2 Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If rng1.Areas.Count > 1 Or rng2.Areas.Count > 1 Then
MsgBox "Can't compare multiple selections!", _
vbExclamation, "Compare Worksheet Ranges"

Cell Value Matches Value From Sheet1 - Compare Number From Cell2 And Show Difference?

Apr 26, 2014

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.

Compare Two Columns And Return Difference

Sep 25, 2013

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.

Compare 2 Columns From 2 Tables And Get Difference In Another Column?

Aug 6, 2014

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.

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.

Compare Two Columns And Show Only Non Matching Values?

Jun 1, 2014

I would like to compare two different columns and show only non matching values that exist in Column B but not in Column A in the next cell.

If we assume that my data is:

Column A: Column B:

A Z
B E
C B
D K
E A

So, I would like to show these values in the next cell as follows:

Column A: Column B: Column C:A Z Z
B E K
C B
D K

Compare Two Columns And Show Only Non Matching Values

Dec 25, 2008

Basically I have Two Columns.

Column A: Column B:

GN0001 DB0002
DB0002 DP0012
GE0025 GN0001
GR0026 GE0025
DR1235 GR0026
DP0012 DR1235
GS0025
PC128


Column A is the master codes list for a unique product.

Now every time a product is sold, its unique code number is entered into column B.

What I want excel to do is compare Column A and Column B and show me only the codes that DO NOT match.

This way I know which items should be present in store when I do a physical stock check.

So the end result should be:

Column A: Column B: Column C:

GN0001 DB0002 GS0025
DB0002 DP0012 PC128
GE0025 GN0001
GR0026 GE0025
DR1235 GR0026
DP0012 DR1235
GS0025
PC128

Compare Two Columns Side By Side To Highlight/change Color Of Difference

Nov 7, 2008

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"

Compare Two Sheets For Difference

Sep 7, 2007

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...)

How To Compare And Get Difference In Character Between 2 Cells

Jul 19, 2014

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?

Compare Tables And Find Difference

Aug 14, 2008

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

Vba: String Compare And Highlight The Difference

Aug 25, 2008

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

Lookup (V?) To Clearly Show Difference

Jan 26, 2010

how to create a macro of some sort that will look at a list of data in cloumn A and in Column B then tell me the values of data that is in A but not in B then also tell what is in B that isnt in A. I understand that 2 vlookups will prob do this but i would like it more user friendly so the way i would like it...........

is for me to paste a list of data from 1st source to column A
then, a list of data from 2nd source to column B

then click a button that would do a lookup from column A against B (and B against A)

and return the values on sheet 2

that way... users could look on sheet 2 and anything in column A would be data that was in column A in sheet 1 but not in B and the data in cloumn B (sheet 2) would be the data that was in column B on sheet 1 but not in A.

If & And Formula: Show The Difference Between Col F And Col G

Mar 14, 2007

if the cells in column E AND column F are blank, then column G will be blank also (I dont want 0 showing), if not show me the difference between col F and col G.

I put in the following:-

=IF((E2="")AND(F2=""),"",E2-F2)

However, Excel informs me this is wrong and corrected it as

=IF((E2="")*AND(F2=""),"",E2-F2)

I guess my question is why do I need to put in "*" for this to work?
