    Comparing two worksheets and identifying differences

    Hello all! I desperately need some direction. I have a database of information that is changed monthly and given in an excel spreadsheet. I must compare the old and new worksheets to determine what was added, deleted or changed each month. There are roughly 2000 rows and 27 columns to compare. I am looking for a way to identify what the changes are without spending a solid week comparing side by side. I have attached a copy of 2 different months for reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! sample 6-20-12.xls sample 7-23-12.xls.

    Arlette, Yes, Ideally all 27. I could narrow it down to 12 or so if I had to.

    Would the macro be in an independent file and do you want it to prompt the user to open both the files which need to be compared?

    It could be an independent file. A prompt would be awesome!
