    VBA to Compare Two Worksheets and Copy Missing Data into a 3rd Sheet

    Hello Everyone.

    I have created a workbook that is being used to compare data between two worksheets (DataTable & HROlist). I have pieced together some VBA that works almost perfectly but I unable to make it work as desired. The goal is to compare the HROlist against the DataTable and if there is data in the HROlist not found in the DataTable, have it copied to Sheet3. Currently it has only copied 1 of three entries. The coding I am using is as follows:

    I am hoping someone out there might be able to help me get back on track with this. I might just be over-thinking the problem.

    That appears to be the only mismatch. What did you expect to see as a result?
    Any code provided by me should be tested on a copy or a mock up of your original data before applying it to the original. Some events in VBA cannot be reversed with the undo facility in Excel.

    On Sheet3 I expected to see the data copied for rows 5 and 6 (Peter Rabbit and Eric Clapton); however, it only copied the data for row 6 (P. Rabbit).

    If you look at sheet 1, row 10, you will see that the Emp ID matches the Emp ID of Sheet 1, Row 5. That is why it did not copy over. The code is working as it should, it was your data that caused you to think it was not properly working. The names for the Emp ID are different on Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 for some items.

    JLGWhiz, Thank you for catching that, I'm not sure how I missed that when entering in test data. The code is still not working correctly however. I entered more random data into the HROlist worksheet (Sheet2) and the code still does not copy all the data to Sheet3.

    Something I did notice is that it copied only the last row of the data it found missing. Maybe I need to somehow incorporate a "For each" statement force the code to copy and paste each row that is missing the value in column H.

    JLGWhiz,

    You solved the problem, thank you. Your solution was much easier to read (and works as expected) than the direction I was going (that didn't work). I do my best to learn the coding by reading through the many posts on this forum to help me get different ideas for the many projects I have and to help me better understand VBA. Again, thank you for all the help.
