Hi This is a great tutorial - i have two sheets of data listing phone numbers for staff - each month staff join and leave and I want to find the difference between the two sheets - however the lines don't always correspond as a name in line 21 in one sheet is there in second sheet but at postion 14 (for example) is there a way I can just find the new or different values in the second sheet?
Hi TrumpExcel, I am working in Aditya Birla Group in Dubai for past 4 years in Field of Excel Automation. And i must appreciate you for the way you are explaining to the learners. I usually do not see the basic videos but your thumbnail was too attractive to refuse. Kudos to Excel. Also in case you or any of your excel enthusiastic friend want to join for some role ill be happy to help. From Mudit Lalwani
You are teaching this so perfectly. This is so much easier and faster way to reconcile 2 data sets among many other methods sown in other videos . Thanks a Ton
Thanks for the video. I have one suggestion for improvement: Earlier I also used in conditional formatting the simple formula you suggest, but this has disadvantage that when you manipulate with sheet cells (eg. add/delete rows or columns), references break down and it doesn't work anymore (formatting must be restored). Much better solution is to use the formula: =INDEX(Sheet1Area,ROW(),COLUMN()) = INDEX(Sheet2Area, ROW(), COLUMN()) This will work no matter what cell manipulations you do in sheets in the future.
Great tutorial - Q - How to get the delta between two Tables - using PQ - example: Need to know using an SW assets inventory Table, a client that has not been installed using the client current comparison Table. I must show the delta only using the Asset Name as the link field.
I am facing the issue of for highlighting the changes You cant use references to other worksheets or workbooks for Conditional formatting criteria . Please help
Thanks, Sir. I am not able to compare two excel sheets. Error is showing as : "You cannot use references to other worksheets or workbooks for conditional formatting criteria" Sir, please give solution.
a scenario where store is in a different order or may not be in incremental order then how do we compare two spread sheets considering store as the primary key.
Thank you first for your nice videos and explaining things in Excel. In your video "How to Compare Two Excel Sheets (and find the differences)" you are talking of two identical lists and your formula only works with identical sheets. Here my question: Is there also a similar formula when the lists are not identical? (maybe with vlookup, match & index). Thank you for your answer, Danny
What store were those changes in? What is the change and what is the store number the changes relate to? Could take this video and take the next step in relating the store number? Thanks
I have an employee headcount of 2020 extracted from an HR platform and a new employee headcount of 2021 from a new HR platform. Both can be formatted as xlxs or csv. I need to find out what employees show on the 2020 list that we do not have on the 2021. Those employees for 2020 need to be added to the 2021 headcount list. How do I do that?
Great video, thanks. I have 2 sheets (previous and current month reporting) each have an unique ID field and I want to compare the dates to find if any dates have changed. The current month will have new rows of data and some of the previous month data (completed items) will be removed. Therefore the data sets are not matching using a filter on the unique ID. Any advice?
I too am curious. I have a similar issue but with tracking incoming and departing employees Edit: so I found that using IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP helped me. I can't post snips of my sheet but you can reverse engineer my formula below: IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B62,[ARRAY NAME],1,0)),"REMOVED","NO CHANGE") Don't forget to change the cell to whatever it is in your sheet

Thanks for the tips! Is this only for the comparison between the data in the same row from two workbooks/sheets, i.e. Row 1 to Row 1 and etc.? I have two different workbooks - Workbook A and Workbook B. Workbook A is a full list of a set of data that I exported. One of the columns in Workbook A contains identical data as one of the columns in Workbook B, but they are all in different rows. Is there any excel formula that we can use when we are comparing data in different rows?
Hi Shannon, did you get a reply back from Sumit Bansal? If not did you figure it out? I would be interested in knowing how to compare 2 files successfully. Thanks.
@@av7829 that function is used to put the text in another row but in the same cell, that's why you can see the Feb values in another line or row below the Jan values.
Thank you for the video but I want to know how will you know if data in one worksheet is present in another worksheet. Since in this video your working on the difference between two cells. Example. Let's say we have the figure 10 in cell A2 and 10 is present in another cell, let's say A4 in another worksheet. How will you know that the figure is present in that cell. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks
For lazy people, =if(cell1!A1cell2!A1"cell1 Value:"&cell1!A1&Char(1000)&"cell2 value:"&cell2!A1,"") Thank you for the wonderful ppt, keep up the good work.
I have a different problem but do need comparison. I have 2 Excel files. File A is a list of all of our customers, total 2000 lines. File B is a list of all of our customers who purchased from us in 2019, total 1675 lines. The customer numbers are all in column A. so i just need to compare column A on both Excel file, highlight the customer # on File A that are not on File B. so i can eliminate our Dead customers on File A. Any idea? Thanks
Good video, do you have a formula that will compare an entire workbook of 12 pages to a separate worksheet with numbers and names? I need the ones that match to be highlighted.
Does it work for content matching of two webpages? I have long text from two sites I need to compare and find only the mismatched word/words and print it. Can we do that or it will return the entire text even if there is a single word mismatch and rest all is matching?
Hi Sumit.. thanks.. excellent video. Very useful and valuable tips. I especially like the way you set up conditional formatting to compare one version of a sheet to another (assuming same format and structure between the sheets). I can think of many uses for that in my business. I also like how you set up the formula to show the values of each different item on a third sheet.. brilliant! Thanks for sharing all of your great tips and tricks. Thumbs up for Trump Excel!
