    Comparing lists

    I have two sets of data. Each set has a column of part numbers and their respective quantities in the next column (Col A: Pt No. Col B: Qty).
    Many of the Part numbers are common to each data set and what I want to do is compare the part numbers and look at the difference in the quantities. What is the simplist way of doing this please?

    Thank you

    Maybe using Conditional Formatting to Flag the differences?

    I think using vlookup is rather simple and straight forward for your case
