Hi All,
I have asked here before and on other fora for help on the following problem ( i am a total novice at VB and Macros): I have a large excel spreadsheet with alpha-numeric data. I want to be able to compare two cells in the same row and return the disimilar characters in another cell(s). e.g. I have in cell B2, "BB26" and in cell C2, "BBZ5". I need to compare the cell C2 to cell B2 and return the disimilar characters in cell D2 which in this case would be the characters "Z5". If possible i would like to specify in cell E2 the positions of the differing characters i.e. cell E2, "34" representing the 3rd and 4th positions of the disimilar characters. If there is a better and more elegant solution to this problem that would provide a similar solution, i would appreciate your help very much. Thank you in advance. |
