Hi<br />
<br />
Just a question of clarification. You want table 3 to have all records under each other or side by side as you have done.<br />
<br />
The reason I ask is that it should be fairly easy to generate the two tables under each other and then sort them, but if it is the comparison part that is the important part, it is somewhat more complex.<br />
<br />
regards<br />
<br />

Hi, newparadigmz.<br />
<br />
Is it OK if we sort the two input tables (e.g. so eee/eee111 appears before eee/eee333)?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Brian.

In the example given, what's the best way to generate Table 3 based on matching Tables 1 and 2 by Acct, then Prod, and comparing differences? Tables 1 and 2 will have varying rows each time.

Thanks!

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
