    In over my head, need some assistance with Excel for locating duplicate data

    Hello,
    I am regrettably in over my head with a project at work.
    I am hoping someone can offer some vba assistance.

    I have an excel workbook with four sheets.

    Sheet one simply has just three columns of data (though many thousands of lines long)
    Column A values represent the inventory (part number)-- column B represents
    the qty ordered--and column C data represents the ship date.

    Sheet Two is the same column and data set up but represents the inventory-qty-and ship date 24 hours later.

    What I need to happen is to have Excel compare the sheet two data to the previous days data located on sheet one and populate sheet three with only the brand new customer orders. Can anyone help?

    So.. in other words.. if the Inventory (Part Number) is on sheet 2 but NOT on sheet 1.. you want to show it on sheet 3?

    Hello,

    So if Sheet one has the following data:

    COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C
    PART 1 9/3/2014 72

    And Sheet Two has the following data:

    COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C
    PART 1 10/7/2014 57
    PART 2 9/26/2014 586
    PART 1 9/3/2014 72


    Line number 3 in Sheet Two has an exact match somewhere on sheet one, so it can be ignored. However lines 1 & 2 on sheet two are brand new (no match in sheet one) and I would like both new lines to copy to sheet 3.

    Hi..

    Line number 3 in Sheet Two has an exact match somewhere on sheet one, so it can be ignored. However lines 1 & 2 on sheet two are brand new (no match in sheet one) and I would like both new lines to copy to sheet 3.
    My code should do exactly that.. did you try the attached Workbook.?
