Set objDocA = Documents.Open(strFolderA & strFileName) StrFileName = Dir(strFolderA & strFileSpec) StrFolderC = InputBox("Enter path for document comparisons to be saved:") StrFolderB = InputBox("Enter path to new documents:")
StrFolderA = InputBox("Enter path to base documents:") Is there a way I can bypass those prompt.
I am getting an prompt window after the comparison saying the "table in the document has become corrupted". However your response to change to Objword does not really make any difference.
If one sheet has more or less rows than the other, then probably everything from that row discrepancy onward would be formatted with the conditional format you set, so this is primarily only good to verify if there were any changes between two sheets.I am able to improvise my code as below. Note: you may need to sort both sheets so that they would be in the same order. Pick a format, i usually do a yellow fill with red font, but whatever works for you.Ĭlick ok and if any cells are different in the second sheet from those in the first, they will appear with the formatting you selected. Which assumes that A1 is the top left corner of the data you selected. Select the option "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" Highlight the data cells.Ĭlick on conditional formatting near the top right on the home menu. If you are comparing 2 sheets in the same workbook, go ahead and select the second sheet. This assumes that you are attempting to verify that two sets of data actually look identical or not. One way that I frequently use, and it is really simple, is conditional formatting. It makes the comparison process simple and works great for reconciliation. Sounds complicated, but once you do it a couple of times you can do it pretty quickly. Finally, if you reverse the sign of the values in one of the files, the pivot table row total will show you the difference between the values in each file. If you need to compare some numeric value in both files, you can use that as the summed value in the pivot table. Now you can just do a pivot table with the comparison value as the row label, "Source" as the column label and see at a glance which values are in each file. Then I copy the corresponding columns from File B and append it at the end of my new file. I copy the columns I want to compare from File A (along with the "Source" column) and create a new file. When I have two files to compare like this, I add a column called "Source" and put some identifier like "File A" in that column in the first file and "File B" as the source in the second file. Comparing a set of first name, last names with another set.Comparing 2 lists using Conditional Formatting.If you deal with similar data & compare it often, read these articles to learn more: What about you? Do you use view side by side mode & compare files? Share your experience & tips using comments. It is quick and answers any ad-hoc questions. But back when I was working as a Business Analyst, I used to compare 2 files (or sheets) using this method. Nowadays, I rarely use this mode of comparison as I never have such data. See HELP > DOCUMENTS COMPARING for more information The LibreOffice Writer Guide gives quite a lot of help in this area. Select sheet 1 in first window, sheet 2 in second window.

Sometimes, we may have 2 sheets, say this_month & last_month in the workbook and we want to compare both.
Like this:īut how to compare data in 2 different sheets in same file? We want to see both of them together to understand which employees did better in both months. Lets say we have 2 files – this_month.xls and last_month.xls both with our employee productivity data. Lets talk about view side by side mode in Excel and how we can use it in situations like these. We want to compare both and see how they differ. Often we have 2 workbooks with same data structure but different data.
