I have two sheets named sheet1 and sheet2 ; Both have same number of columns which started from A to AI . I need to compare both the sheets if in-case it finds variance in anyone of the individual cell on that time it must to copy the entire row and paste it into new sheet named Sheet3. Kindly reply me as soon as possible.
Many thanks in advance.
Here is a quick pseudocode sample of how I would go about it:
for each row in worksheet
for each cell in the row
if cell on sheet1 <> cell on sheet2
copy row to sheet3
end if
next
next
A couple of options
You can download a 30 free trial version of SpreadSheet Advantage which has a
1) column and row alignment function that can be run to set the 2 sheets up in a like for like fashion (to adjust for a deleted or additional row as per Tom's point above).
2) A very quick sheet v sheet compare output that works on formulae, values or both, highlighting only the parts of the cells that are different
or
If the sheets are already perfectly aligned
you could use this free compare.xla addin by Myrna Lawson and Bill Manville
if you wanted a value comparison only then you could set up a simple formula in A1 of a third sheet to compare the values of A1 in sheets 1 and 2 etc

I have an Excel file with three sheets, with data in each sheet organised in the same manner - headers are the same.
Without using VBA (as macros are not allowed by my organisation's security policy), I would like to find all rows from all sheets that meet a simple column value check and show those rows in a separate sheet.
For example:
Sheet2 has,
Sheet3 has,
Sheet4 has,
I want sheet1 to have all rows from sheets 2-4 with Header7 column value = "Hit",
What I have achieved so far is, using an array formula I could get all the "hits" from one sheet in sheet1.
The formula for A2 to A6 in sheet1 is as below, with the ROW(1:1) changing to ROW(2,2) and so on from A3 onwards. Columns B to G use the same formula with range adjusted accordingly.
{=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet4!$A$2:$A$6,SMALL(IF(Sheet4!$G$2:$G$6="Hit",ROW(Sheet4!$A$2:$A$6)),ROW(1:1))-1,1),"")}
What this does is a bit complicated. In short, it creates an array of either FALSE or row numbers based on Hit and then finds the index of the non-false values.
Now, I can solve the last part of combining the idea to include all sheets in two ways (I think).
Have another temporary sheet (sheet5) with all rows from sheets 2 to 4. Update my formula in sheet1 to use sheet5 instead of 4.
Have the range Sheet4!A2:A6 etc changed to include a 3D reference like Sheet2:Sheet4!A2:A6. But this doesn't work, and the documentation for 3D reference doesn't mention that it works with array functions.
PS: I don't have Power Query, which seemed to have an easy way to create a new sheet with all rows from multiple sheets, because I work on a Mac (MS Excel for Mac).
I have set up 4 sheets within a workbook.
The first sheet has every Colum in it and the other three are segments of the first.
If I'm on sheet two I can add "=Sheet1!A2" and it will copy the value of that cell. However, is there a way that I can configure so that if I want to change a value on Sheet 2 Cell A2 I can do that on Sheet 2 and then it update Sheet1.
I don't know how to even attempt searching this on google, so I have turned to yourselves for help.
Thanks,
i have this formula to get data to one sheet from another sheet.
But i need to have a formula that will get data from all the sheets between sheet "start" and sheet "end" i have about 80 sheets.
Thank you.
= COUNTIF(Huvudlager!$B:$B;"Skruvdragare")
There is not a clean and easy way to do this all in one cell.
You can however, take advantage of some nifty excel functions to help you with this, namely GET.WORKBOOK and INDIRECT.
Step 1
Define a Named Range called SheetList (or whatever you want) with the following formula:
=SUBSTITUTE(GET.WORKBOOK(1),"["&GET.WORKBOOK(16)&"]","") creates an array of worksheet names within the workbook. The substitute function gets rid of the workbook name in the array.
Step 2
Highlight 80 rows (since you said you have 80 sheets) of data on the sheet where you wish to count your data. Then type =TRANSPOSE(SheetsList) into the first cell and Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Your sheet list will appear in the 80 rows. Transpose is needed so the list goes down the rows instead of across columns.
Step 3
Write the following formula next to each sheet =COUNTIF(INDIRECT(A1&"!$B:$B"),"Skruvdragare") assumes first sheet name is A1.
Edit: You'd be better served to define the row ranges in the COUNTIF formula, since counting every row in a column is very efficient, especially if not all the rows have data. So, use the max number of rows you know will have data across all the sheets, for example: INDIRECT(A1&"!$B$1:$B$1000")
Step 4
Write a formula to sum the counts of each sheet.
I have a worksheet in Excel 2013 with two sheets: Sheet 1 and Sheet 2. I am applying a formula in both the sheets in the same column (G). The data is in more than 100,000 rows that's why I can't put it in one sheet only.
The problem is that I want to use VLOOKUP in both sheets in a way that the function looks up in both sheets in the same columns (arrays) i.e. A and B columns in sheet 1 and sheet 2 and get the value from column B i.e. column 2 within VLOOKUP function.
How can I add reference to the other sheet?
I doubt a complete solution is possible with VLOOKUP because, for instance, the corresponding ColumnB values may differ even where a ColumnA value is the same on both sheets. So without VBA (or possibly merging your sheets) you may have to compromise, so I offer only a partial solution, based on Excel 2007.
This 'looks up' in the 'other' sheet and only defaults to the 'same' sheet where the first attempt is unsuccessful. It uses INDEX and MATCH because likely quicker than VLOOKUP for high volumes. The formula I have applied for Sheet1 (in G1 and to be copied down) is:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!B$1:B$6,MATCH(E1,TwoArray,0)),INDEX(B$1:B$7,MATCH(E1,OneArray,0)))
where the OneArray and TwoArray are named ranges for parts of ColumnA for the two sheets and the link values are expected in ColumnE (the formula in Sheet2 is similar):
Just hoping someone can help - I've been experimenting and googling for ages with no success!
On Excel 2010, I would like to copy a range of cells from one sheet (say, Sheet 1) to another in the same workbook. I need the copy to have the contents of the cells AND their formatting AND to mirror any changes which happen to either the contents or formatting of those cells in Sheet 1.
Is there any way I can do this please? Please note, I'm not familiar with using VBA so if that's needed I'll need some instructions about how to use/copy any code solutions you give me into my workbook too?
if you select both sheets (press CTRL while selecting sheet tabs) everything you do on sheet1 is replicated on sheet2
so select both sheets
select a cell or range of cells
format and enter content as desired
untie sheets (press CTRL while selecting sheet tabs)
sheet2 is a duplicate of sheet 1
hope that helps
To duplicate cells on Sheet 1 on Sheet 2, even when entering new rows on sheet 1
Enter ROW() in every row of column "A" in sheet one. This duplicates the row number to be used for your vlookup.
On Sheet 2 for every cell you wish to duplicate:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(ROW(),'Sheet 1'!$A:$G,COLUMN()+1,FALSE),"")
When entering a new row on Sheet 1, you will need to copy the ROW() function to the first column of the new row.
All other adjustments are automatic except adding columns. Adding columns requires additional steps.
