Matching two sheets
How can I compare two sheets of data? One being a master list and the other
is a small list. Both have prices and product numbers column and other information, what I want to do is to run the small sheet through the master sheet of data. Then, create a new sheet of the matched rows of both sheets side by side to do a price analysis, and etc. Your help is greatly appreciated. |
Matching two sheets
One of the ways of doing it may be the following:
- Identify the column that contains unique codes that can be compared in both sheets (let's say it is column A in both cases) - Add in the small sheet as many columns as you need, with formulas like: =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$Z$500,2,FALSE) that has to be adjusted to your particular case in terms of range and column retrieved (see the help on the function for more details) - This will give you values for the matched codes, and errors for the non-matched ones. Now sort or filter the data on any column that have some errors on it, and copy the rows with no errors in them to a new sheet, where you can run your analysis. Hope this helps, Miguel.
