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
answer2 = 1

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 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 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

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, Add, And Highlight

Jun 23, 2008

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.

How To Compare The Data And Highlight

Jun 13, 2014

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.

Compare Two Tables And Highlight Differences

Jan 30, 2012

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 Lists & Highlight Duplicates

Jul 3, 2007

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.

Compare Worksheets & Highlight 1 By Criteria

Feb 18, 2008

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.

Compare Data In Two Workbooks And Highlight Matches

Jan 28, 2008

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.

Compare Values In Two Cells - Highlight When There Is No Match

Jan 3, 2013

I 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
("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

Compare Cells In Different Workbooks & Highlight Differences

Dec 6, 2007

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?
