Hello,

I am wondering if someone could offer some assistance. I have 2 columns
in a worksheet. The two columns are lists of server names. I would like
to compare the list in column A and Column B and either output or
highlight unique values. I basically need to figure out what column A
is missing from column B and vice versa. I appreciate any help anyone
can offer. Thank you.

Hi Jim

Not sure if there is a unique function that would help, but here are a
couple of ways (as usual there is normally more then one way of doing
things);

1. Import each list into Access as seperate tables and run an unmatched
query

2. the follwoing code will loop down one list checking for a match, you
could then do the same for the second list.

intCompare = 0

For Each r In Range("CheckList1")
a = UCase(r.Value)
b = UCase(r.Offset(0, 2).Value)

For Each s In Range("CheckList2")
c = UCase(s.Offset(0, 9).Value)
d = UCase(s.Offset(0, 10).Value)
If b = c And a = d Then
intCompare = 2
strCaseID = s.Value
r.Offset(0, 3).Value = intCompare
r.Offset(0, 4).Value = strCaseID
intCompare = 0
strCaseID = ""
Exit For
End If
Next s
Next r

Hope this helps

in column C, put in a formula like

In C1 put in
=if(Countif($B:$B,A1)=0,"Unique to A","")

In D1 put in
=if(countif($A:$A,B1)=0,"Unique to B","")

Select C1:D1 and drag fill down
