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 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 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)
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...)
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?
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.
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

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.
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 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.
I have a problems here. The problems is attached in the file. I wanna extract alpha/char from a string. Example: I wanna extract the words "(M)" with the bracket from the string "Toothbrush (M)" in column A. After extracting the (M) out, I wanna do a validation to compare the (M) in column B with another data in column C, if the (M) is same as the data called "Medium" in column c, the validation will return "Match" in the column d!
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 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.
Here 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.
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 ("E2", Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Name = ("MyRange") Range("MyRange").Select ' 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
If i have a string of information in 2 workbook and I need to check if the details in column a in workbook 1 has a duplicate entry in column b in workbook 2 and if there is a duplication, then highlight it in both workbook. How can I go about it to create the codes so that I will be able to use it for different workbooks without changing the codes every now & then?
Scenario: - Monthly invoice verifications for a few vendors. To verify info from the manual invoice againts the auto invoice (2 different workbook for each vendor) Need to verify info from Column A in Manual invoice against column B in Auto invoice. If there is a same data in both column, then data to be highlighted.
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?
