- I was hoping that excel would have native tools where you could say in worksheet 1, combination of columns 1 and 2 (and 3 and 4 if needed) provide a unique identifier - perhaps it would tell you how many you needed to pick for unique values. You would select the equivalent columns of data in the second worksheet, and the result would be to identify all of the rows that are in both sheets, and also output the unique rows in each sheet as well as any that were unable to determined due to duplicate "unique values"
