A helpful Excel macro that compares rows in 2 data lists using 1 to 3 columns for each list. It generates a new spreadsheet where matching rows are merged together, and unmatched rows are highlighted separately.
I recently came across a very useful Excel macro that allows for easy comparison of data between two lists. This macro is particularly helpful when you need to compare large amounts of data and want to quickly identify any matches or differences.
Using this macro, you can compare two different lists of data based on one to three columns in each list. Once the comparison is made, a new spreadsheet is created with matched rows from the original lists merged together on the same row, while unmatched rows are highlighted on separate rows.
One important thing to keep in mind is that the maximum number of columns that Excel supports cannot be exceeded when merging the two lists of data into one spreadsheet. This means that you need to be aware of the number of columns in each list before using the macro.
Overall, I found this macro to be incredibly helpful in working with large amounts of data. It was easy to use and saved me a lot of time when I needed to compare two lists quickly. I tested it on MS Office 97 - XP and it worked smoothly without any issues.
