Compare two text files
open them both in excel
use a formula like In B1 of text1 =countif([text2.txt]Text2!A:A,A1) drag fill down the column in B1 of Text2 =countif([text1.txt]Text1!A:A,A1) drag fill down the column formulas that produce zero are the rows you want. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "LostinTransportation" wrote in message ... Have two text files that contain one column of one word names. Need to find the easiest way for a non-technical end-user to compare the two reports and find exceptions (i.e. any items that are on list A and not on list B, or any items that are on list B and not on list A). -- TIA! |
