Default Comparing Spreadsheets from Different Sources

Maybe I'm not understanding what you need, or you aren't explaining it
properly. I've used VLOOKUP for situations just like you describe, on
worksheets with 16k+ rows. Granted, it's not nearly as efficient as
INDEX/MATCH but it does the job.

VLOOKUP doesn't work on the scale I need it to. *Tried it. *:-( *

Have you checked out the VLOOKUP function? You could place the formula
in Source A workbook and look for the matching SKU in Source B. If it
doesn't exist, the formula returns the #N/A error.
