I have a problem I am tryign to solve using VBA. I was wondering of anyone
was up to the challenge in helping me solve the issue. I have two sets of
data stored in two dictionaries. I want to be able to compare the data and
solve and come up with a solution to what has changed in the revised data.

Assume I have que. In this que, I have empty spots. For fun lets say its a
que at a movie theatre with people in line who can also save spots for
friends who have not arrived yet. The empty spots are as follows:

Position 157
Position 153
Position 152
Position 136
Position 106
Position 105
Position 104
Position 103
Position 95
Position 59
Position 35
Position 3

Then a bunch of new empty positions are created for the que. For fun lets
say that some new people enter the que and/or these new or existing people
save additional spots for friends. The new empty slots in the que are as
follows:

Position 163
Position 162
Position 161
Position 160
Position 158
Position 154
Position 153
Position 137
Position 107
Position 106
Position 105
Position 104
Position 96
Position 60
Position 36
Position 20
Position 3

I will always know in advance what the total difference in positions (empty
+ filled) is. In this example I will know in advance that the ques differ by
6 spaces. And I will always have the two resulting data sets. I need a
function to figure out where the empty slots were created in the original que
and where the new filled spots are. I want to be able to compare the data in
the ques (dictionary object) and attempt to figure out where the 6 spaces
came about.

You know from looking at the data above that Position 3 is still the same.
So any new position had to be created after Position 3.

The correct answer here is that I created 1 new empty spot at Position 20, 4
new empty spots at Positions 159-162, and 1 new filled spot at Position 163.
1 + 4 + 1 = 6.

Can anyone provide me with some insight as to how to compare these data sets
to solve this problem? I might be more of a math question than a VBA
question but I since I am using VBA, it will still be helpful!

Thanks
