The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Comparing two sets of data in MS Excel using VBA

Asked by Navgod in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: excel, two, vba, compare, columns

Hi,

I have a piece of code which compares data in two columns O and G.

For all data in Column O where it does not match Column G it changes the cel value to "DELETED"

Here is the code:

Sub UpdateDeleted()
Dim cel As Range, rngFound As Range
'Compare and flag off deleted pipes
For Each cel In Range("O14", Range("O14").End(xlDown))
Set rngFound = Nothing
Set rngFound = Range("G:F").Find(what:=cel.Value, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
If rngFound Is Nothing Then
cel.Value = "DELETED"
Else
End If
Next
End Sub

I am now trying to add an extra check whereby if the data in column G is not equal to O, it checks if the cel value is "ISSUED CANCELLED". If yes then it does not change the cel value of column O to "DELETED"

I am finding it hard to extract the cel value from the following line for column G to add this check.

Set rngFound = Range("G:F").Find(what:=cel.Value, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)

I can ofcose just write an entire different loop to make it work but i am trying to avoid this so that i can embed it within this piece of code which loops through all the data in the two columns.

Please help.

Thanks,

Nav
