Default Finding Unique/Duplicates

Lori

What you could do is use a simple IF to find the changes fast like this:

=IF(Sheet1!A1=Sheet2!A1,0,1)

Put this formula in the sheet where the changes are likely to occur, then
you copy the formula to the exact number of cells of your job list. Anything
that is different shows up as a "1". If you want to get really clever, set a
conditional format to the cells containing the above formula that if the cell
= 1 then it must be highlighted yellow.

I have a worksheet with last years jobs on it:
A B C D E F G
Date Job # Salesman Client How Hours Status

I need to update the worksheet with the same data, except it's possible that
some of the information has been changed (i.e. salesman, status).

Would the best way be to combine both lists together, sort on the Job # and
just look through every two rows to see if there's a change or if the info
stayed the same or is there some kind of formula I can use that would make
this easier?

TIA for any/all help/insight!!!
