the two diferent worksheets.

Hi,

Your subject line says compare Excel Workbook, but the information in the
message box is about two worksheets. Is it worksheets in different workbook
or worksheets in a workbook.

If its comparing workbook, then

Compare workbooks side by side

1. Open the workbooks you want to compare side by side.
2. On the Window menu, click Compare Side by Side with.
3. On the Compare Side by Side toolbar do any of the following:

* If you want to scroll through the workbooks at the same time, click
Synchronous Scrolling .
*If you want to reset the workbook windows to the positions they were in
when you first started comparing workbooks, click Reset Window Position .

4. Click Close Side by Side to stop comparing workbooks.

Note:

If you open two workbooks, the command on the Window menu will include the
filename of one of those workbooks. For example, you open "workbook1.xls" and
"workbook2.xls". While viewing "workbook1.xls", the Window menu shows the
command as Compare Side by Side with workbook2.xls.

Important: If it is comparing betwen two worksheets in a workbook, then use
Autofilter on each worksheet.
