    Compare and copy two columns from each sheet in a workbook

    I have got an excel sheet that has got 3 sheets in a single workbook.

    I need a macro that would compare the 2 columns with same headers in the 1st and 2nd sheet (i.e. compare column A and B of sheet ABC with the Column A and B of the Sheet DEF) and only if both the values in column A and B of the sheet ABC matches the values of columns A & B in sheet DEF, copy the matched data from 1st sheet along with its corresponding values in column C in the 2nd sheet to the 3rd sheet(GFH).

    Sorry for too complicated explanation! Hope this is understandable.

    Thank you.

    Re: Compare and copy two columns from each sheet in a workbook

    Hi Sara,

    You can do this problem without using VBA using a helper column and this formula in it (On sheet 2 - Column D).

    =MATCH(A2&B2,(ABC!A:A&ABC!B:B),0)

    You need to enter the above as an Array Formula using Control+Shift+Enter and then copy the formula down.

    All the rows where column D is a number are the ones you want to copy to the third sheet.

    Hope that helps...
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
