    Excel

    If I have a master list of 20 part numbers in one Excel column or worksheet
    how can I compare each part numbers in the master column against actual
    values/part numbers in another column or worksheet, and highlight in red the
    missing parts in a third column? Is there a wizzard to help me or will I have
    to write a complicated macro or loop?

    Excel

    Hi!

    Column A1:A19 = secondary list
    Column B1:B19 = master list

    In C1 enter this formula with the key combo of
    CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

    =IF(ISERROR(SMALL(IF(COUNTIF(A$1:A$19,B$1:B$19)=0,ROW
    ($1:$19)),ROW(1:1))),"",INDEX(B$1:B$19,SMALL(IF(COUNTIF
    (A$1:A$19,B$1:B$19)=0,ROW($1:$19)),ROW(1:1))))

    Copy down until you get "blanks".

    Will return:

    C1 = 12A221332
    C2 = 12A221333
    C3 = blank

    I selected C1 and presses key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER, but was unable to
    paste in the formula.

    RE: Excel

    Hi!

    Copy/Paste the formula into cell C1.

    The formula will appear in the Formula Bar.

    Goto the Formula Bar and place the cursor at the end of
    the formula.

    Hold down the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER.

    If done properly Excel will enclose the formula in
    squiggly braces { } which means that it is an array
    formula. You must use the key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER
    for it to work. You can not just simply type the braces in.

    I get an error message "It says my formula is missing parenthesis. This is

    RE: Excel

    Hi!

    Should work, there's nothing wrong with the formula.

    The formula is all on one line. Sometimes if you copy from
    a certain source you can get messed up with line breaks or
    word wrap.

    If you want to send me a copy of the file I'll do it for
    you. Post back with an email address and I'll contact you.
