V-Lookup variation query
Hi,
I am having an issue with comparing columns of values. Basically I have a table similar to the below except with a couple of thousand lines. Either the first column will have a value that doesn't match with the second column or vice versa so basically I need Excel (2002) to begin at the top and compare the values until it finds a mis-match, extract that value (perhaps to another sheet) and continue down the columns doing the same thing until the end. 46,898,748.00 46,898,800.00 2,365,412.00 2,365,412.00 15,465.00 15,465.00 4,864.00 4,864.00 41,564.00 54,156.00 48,642.00 41,564.00 1,564,968.00 48,642.00 4,589,846.00 1,564,968.00 5,852,852.00 4,589,846.00 6,458,456.00 5,852,852.00 At the moment I manually do this so, using the above example, I would go down the list until the amount of 54,156.00 which I would cut and paste into a different sheet and then delete the cell with that value so the rest of the values on the right move up and match until the final amount on the left of 6,458,456.00 which would also be removed as it also doesn't have a match. With a couple of thousand items this is very time-consuming. I'm not sure if a v-lookup would help or perhaps a macro but any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance Niall |

V-Lookup variation query
Assuming your data is in A2:B11, enter the following formulas:
C2 =IF(ISNA(MATCH(A2,$B$2:$B$11,0)), ROW(A1)*2-1,"") D2 =IF(ISNA(MATCH(B2,$A$2:$A$11,0)), ROW(B2)*2-2,"") E2 =IF(COUNT($C$2:$D$11)=ROW(A1), SMALL($C$2:$D$11,ROW(A1)),"") F2 =IF(E2="","",INDEX($A$2:$B$11,INT((E2+1)/2), 1+ISEVEN(E2))) Copy C2 and D2 down to the end of your data, Copy E2 and F2 down until you get blanks.
