    Comparing Files from Week to Week

    I have to download a report every week and have been manually checking the report weekly for changes. Need help in creating a formula that will help me find the changes?


    Thanks

    S,up, Ziggy.

    Are you importing the weekly data into the same workbook each week for comparison purposes, or are you just comparing the two open workbooks?

    I'm sure it's easy to compare using a formula, but we really need more information to be able to help. Perhaps if you upload a sample workbook.

    Thumbs up Re: Comparing Files from Week to Week

    Thank you NBVC...I found my answer in the respond you gave to dellf on 1/29/09. DELLF asked the question on "checking and indicating data from sheet to another"...this solves my problem.

    Thank you
