Compare values in worksheets

[addey]

Hi,

I have figured out some of the stuff I want to do below, but would love to have it all in one VB macro, since it is an action I will have to perform somewhat regularly on rather large excel files, so I'm hoping for a bit of help. I haven't done a lot of VB, but enough to see that it should be pretty easy to do, but I haven't programmed in years, and am very far from being fluent in VB... (can read it rather easily though)

Worksheet 1 has an item-specific number (in the format xx.xx.xxx if that matters) in column G, and item quantity in column K
Worksheet 2 has the items split over several rows (in various places in the worksheet), but keeps the item-specific number (only this time in column D). It has item quantity in column F
Both worksheets have several lines without items (headers, info etc) that don't need to be taken into account. For these lines, the item-specific number cell is empty.

What I would like is the following: For each item in the first worksheet, sum up total quantity of all appearances of same item (given by the item-specific number) in the second worksheet. If this total matches the quantity in worksheet 1, mark the cell green, if it does not match, mark the cell red.

Btw: I'm using Excel 2010 (couldn't find an Edit button to add to above post...)

addey,

Welcome to the MrExcel forum.

Are you using a PC or a Mac?


Can you post screenshots of the two actual raw data worksheets?

And, can you post screenshots of the worksheet results (manually formatted by you) that you are looking for?

To post your data, you can download and install one of the following two programs:

Hiker95, thanks for the reply. I'm sorry, but I'm not able to do that... I am not allowed to install any programs on my PC (i.e. not a Mac), and security regulations don't allow me to upload any data either. The best I can do is try to provide an example in text here, just hope the columns line up...:

Worksheet 1
A ... F G H ... K
1 3.10.10 Item1 10
2 3.10.20 Item2 15
.
.
N 4.10.50 ItemN 43

Worksheet 2
A B C D E G
1 3.10.10 Item1 3
2 3.10.20 Item2 10
3 3.10.10 Item1 3
4 3.10.10 Item1 3
5 3.10.10 Item2 5
.
.
N-1 4.10.50 ItemN 22
N 4.10.50 ItemN 21

Output:
A ... F G H ... K
1 3.10.10 Item1 10 (red)
2 3.10.20 Item2 15 (green)
.
.
N 4.10.50 ItemN 43 (green)


Edit: That obviously didn't work... I really don't have any possibility to upload the real data, very sorry... I thought the description was rather clear, so I still hope someone can help me.

addey,

I am not able to tell what cells, rows, columns, your text data is in.


Click on the Reply to Thread button, and just put the word BUMP in the thread. Then, click on the Post Quick Reply button, and someone else will assist you.

Have fiddled a bit with it myself, and this seems to do the trick. More or less... since it's the first VBA code I've ever written myself, I guess there are a lot of ways this could be done better, but this seems to work (number of rows limited because I've just been testing on a small subset)

Sub CheckQuantities()
Dim ItemID As String, ItemIDcheck As String
Dim ItemQuantity As Long
Dim ItemCount As Integer, ItemAdd As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer

Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
For i = 5 To 10 Step 1
  If Not IsEmpty(Cells(i, "D")) Then
    ItemID = Cells(i, "D").Value
    ItemQuantity = Cells(i, "F").Value
  End If
  
  ItemCount = 0
  ItemAdd = 0
  
    For j = 5 To 11 Step 1
     If Worksheets("Sheet2").Cells(j, "E").Value = ItemID Then
      ItemAdd = Worksheets("Sheet2").Cells(j, "G").Value
      ItemCount = ItemCount + ItemAdd
     End If
    Next j
   If ItemCount = ItemQuantity Then
     Cells(i, "F").Interior.Color = RGB(0, 256, 0)
    Else
     Cells(i, "F").Interior.Color = RGB(256, 0, 0)
   End If
Next i
End Sub

addey,

Nicely done.

number of rows limited because I've just been testing on a small subset

Without seeing your raw data, the only suggestion I have is to change the Integer variables to Long.

since it's the first VBA code I've ever written myself

What would be the advantage of changing from Integer to Long? I have now added a check of number of used rows in both sheets, and use this to limit the for loops. Thanks for the links, that's a whole lot of information to browse through!!

 

[hiker95]

addey,

What would be the advantage of changing from Integer to Long?

It would depend on how may rows your raw data uses, but, just to be safe, use Long.

Integer variables are stored as 16-bit (2-byte) numbers ranging in value from -32,768 to 32,767.

Long (long integer) variables are stored as signed 32-bit (4-byte) numbers ranging in value from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.

Thanks for the links, that's a whole lot of information to browse through!!

You are very welcome. Glad I could help.

And, come back anytime.
