Data compare

Copper Contributor

Good day community.

 

I need assistance please.

Is there a formula that i can use to compare two sheets for dupplicate data rows.

The compare formula needs to take all the data of the second sheet in consideration and not only the row that will be comapred.

The result needs to give me a "Match" answer, and if possible where the matched data is located in the second sheet. 

Exp: 

Sheet one

ABCResult
100200300 
    

Sheet two

ABCResult
    
100200300 

 I`m currently using a IF formula, but the arguement fails if the location of the row in either of the sheets is changed or not on the same position in both sheets. 

Using excel 2016

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Jody.

Hi Ramizassaf.

No my problem has not been solved.

The formulas (X-lookup and CONCAT) used in your spreadsheet is not available in my version of Excel, currently using Excel 2016.

As variant, for such sample

is

=IFNA(MATCH(A1&B1&C1,Sheet2!$A$1:$A$1000&Sheet2!$B$1:$B$1000&Sheet2!$C$1:$C$1000,0),"nu duplication")

Thank you very much for the information.

However I`m looking to the verification within one workbook.

 

Thank you 

Please send your current (not fully working) formula mentioned here:

I like the the match formula suggestion, it sould work, maybe easy to adapt if I can see your current faulty version?

Hi @Mr_Hans 

See below

=IF($A$2='Sheet2'!$A$2,"Pass","Data not aligned")

 

Thanks
