I have two sheets
sheet1 has col1, col2, col3, col4
and
Sheet2 has col1, col2, col3, col4
The data in both the sheets is sorted as col2, col1
I want to run a comparison on two sheets, I want find the records missing in sheet2 that are present in sheet 1
We need to comapre col1
Example of data in sheet 1
col1, col2, col3, col4
a.b d 1 1
d.c d 2 1
E.F D
w.s e
e.d e 1 1
Example of sheet2
col1, col2, col3, col4
a.b d 1 1
w.s e
FINAL SHEET1 SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS
col1, col2, col3, col4 COL5
a.b d 1 1
d.c d 2 1 MISSING
E.F d MISSING
w.s e
e.d e 1 1 MISSING
pLEASE NOTE i AM NOW COMPARING ONLY cOL1 FROM SHEET1 TO COL1 FROM SHEET2
No idea how to do it in excel.
[E2]=IF(ISERROR(MATCH($A2&
Hit CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER to confirm array. Then, you can copy down.
And E2 on Sheet2:
[E2]=IF(ISERROR(MATCH($A2&
Hit CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER to confirm array. Then, you can copy down.
The formula supports values from row 2 to 100. Just change the 100 to a larger number if you're working with larger datasets, or use A:A, B:B, C:C, D:D for the entire sheet (though, that makes for additional processing cost).
See attached demonstrated solution.
