How to compare two work sheel cell by cell
Please some one help me on compare two work sheet cell by cell
One way is to use a third sheet, put this in A1 =IF(EXACT(Sheet1!A1,Sheet2!A1),"y","n") then copy A1 and paste it into the rest of the new sheet, as far as needed. Since EXACT is case-sensitive, "this" is considered different from "This". Don't be tempted into using the comparison Sheet1!A1=Sheet2!A1 because it considers 0 and FALSE and an empty cell to be all the same. A different way is to use conditional formatting to color the cells of Sheet1 that are different from their Sheet2 conterparts. This way, there's no need for a third sheet. Look in Excel's built-in Help to read about conditional formatting. |
