Maybe you can use =vlookup() or =index(match()) to look for differences.
Debra Dalgleish has lots of notes: http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html (for =vlookup()) and http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions03.html (for =index(match())) and http://contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html#Trouble And Chip Pearson has lots of techniques for working with duplicates: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/Duplicates.aspx monsoonkhan wrote: i have 2 seperate spreadsheets. i need to know if the codes on one exist on the other, and if i do find a match, can i automatically populate fields such as project manager, location etc. also, how do i delete cells which are a repeat of previous cells? -- Dave Peterson |
