Comparing 2 spreadsheets to find unique records

Hi,

Please could you help with an enquiry? I have installed a duplicate checker in Excel that finds the duplicate fields in 2 excel spreadsheets. However this can be time consuming. Do you know of a much quicker way of comparing 2 similar spreadsheets to find the unique records? For example two spreadsheets with same layout, except that one spreadsheet may contain different data than the other.

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Cherry

Hi Cherry

After reviewing your post we can recommend two courses of action as your requirement is beyond the scope of this forum.

1) Attend our 2 day Excel VBA Introduction course, this will give you the skill sets required to create your own solution. More information, click here.

2) We create the solution for you, send us your working files with a list of objectives, we will confirm scope of work and related costs for you to decide on.

I hope this will suffice and if you have any further quesitons please contact us.

Regards

Jacob

Excel tip:

Sorting List Subtotals

If you find that you would prefer to show the items in a subtotalled list in a different order, eg ascending rather than descending, you can sort your list. To sort a subtotalled list, hide the detail rows and then sort the subtotal rows. When you sort a subtotalled list, the hidden detail rows are automatically moved with the subtotal rows.
IMPORTANT: If you do not hide the details rows before sorting a subtotalled list, your subtotals will be removed and all of the rows in your list will be reordered.
