Default compare two sheets

Hi all

I have two spreadsheets pulled from a database at different times (half
yearly). Is there a way to compare and contrast the two sheets (or more than
2 if possible). I what it to look at the list and tell me what records are
missing (from the new one)

any help greatly appreciated

Kind regards

Rexmann

One way is to use the MATCH function to match two pieces of data between the
two lists. Anywhere you get an error as opposed to a row reference returned,
you have a new record. More info he
