Comparind data

Fazil has attended:
Excel Advanced course

by - delegate Fazil [11 posts] (2007 Aug 10 Fri, 11:41) replyReply

Hello,

I have 2 different workbooks/worksheets with data about my clients. I want to know if those workbooks/worksheets have data about the same customer. How do I find it..?

I cant merge the worksheets/workbooks as the data apart from client name are different.

Thanks and regards... Fazil

Hi Fazil

Thanks for your question.

If you simply want to find something in particular in a spreadsheet you can use the Find feature. Ctrl + F will open the Find feature or you can go to Edit - Find.

Then type in what you are looking for and Excel will select the next instance of what you are looking for in the spreadsheet.

I hope this helps.

Amanda

Thanks Amanda..,

The spreadsheets I am talking about runs the data of thousands of customers and so it is difficult to compare each customer name using Ctrl + F. It is equally difficult to compare them by minimising to display side-by-side in the screen as, apart from 'customer name' other data in the spreadsheets are very different.

Is there a way to tell 'Excel' to run through both the spreadsheets, compare the data on 'Customer Name@ column and report back saying, 'this is the list of customers present in both the spread-sheets'

Thanks and regards,
Fazil

Hi Fazil

I think this would require VBA code to be written in order to produce the results that you are looking for.

Amanda

Excel tip:

No Zeros

Want all the zeros in your worksheet to appear blank? Choose Tools/Options, Click on the View Tab, Deselect the Zero Values Option, Click OK.
Easy wasn't it? But be aware that these cells are not actually blank, they still contain the value zero. This is important because certain functions (ie AVERAGE) make a distinction between blank cells and those with a zero value.
