    Re: how to find differences between 2 excel sheets

    Hi,

    Lets assume that the email addresses in sheet A & sheet B are listed in column A, then in column B sheet A put this code:

    =IF(VLOOKUP(A1,'Sheet B'!A:B,2,FALSE),"","Available in B").

    There are some better ways than this I provided, but I think you can work with this for now

    Well if you use the Data tab or menu to make sure both worksheets are in sorted order and then save the changes, you can use DiffEngineX. After making sure you are familiar with what it does you can then bring up its Extras dialog and turn on Hide Matching Rows.

    DiffEngineX will produce two color highlighted sheets. Look at the sheet that corresponds to your sheet A.

    You can download DiffEngineX from

    http://www.florencesoft.com/excel-di...-download.html

    Just remember if your email addresses are in sorted order (if not get Excel to sort them with AZ sort under the Data tab, then save the changes) and Extras->Hide Matching Rows is turned on, DiffEngineX will tell you instantly what email addresses are in Sheet A but not Sheet B.
