Hi Joel

Thanks very much for your help. It is greatly appreciated! I was able to use
your code with some slight modification and it has done exactly what I
needed.

Thank you!

:)

Hello

I need to get my hands on two macros which I hope will save me hours of work
every week (assuming I can edit them to suit my needs).

MACRO 1
I need a macro which compares the data in one worksheet with that in another
worksheet (by comparing a column which has a unique identifier) and provides
me with a third worksheet with only the rows from the first worksheet which
weren't in the second worksheet?


MACRO 2
Similar to above, except that this macro would provide me with a third
worksheet containing all the rows from the first worksheet which DID appear
in the second worksheet but had a later "end date".

If one macro could do both, that'd be great - but I'm happy to use two
macros to do the job.

I have limited knowledge of Visual Basic, hence why I wanted to start with
an existing macro that I may be able to edit (hopefully).

Thanks for your help!

Joe.
