I need to compare the data on two sheets in the same workbook, so the third sheet will have the variances, and the third sheet will have the formula like sheet1!QA32-sheet2!QA32, therefore I need to arrange the two sheets in the same way. How do I align the headings to get the correct data on the two sheets?
A formula will work, I am using =INDEX(MATCH formula,
Any suggestions, please?

No, this will only tell me if the data in this cell is the same as on the other cell. true or false. I wanted to arrange one column headings the same as the other so I can use the formula to check if the value is the same as in another sheet.
I used =INDEX(MATCH formula, and sort the heading same as the other sheet.

That is what I'm telling - See Formula in cell E1, it has copied headings from previous range and shall keep them synced at all times

This way you can use INDEX-MATCH efficiently.

Thank you, Sanjay,
I should have explained it. I have two lists of almost the same headings, one list has 450 columns headings, and another has 435 columns headings, I need to compare the two headings, some of the headings are not the same, for example, one heading may have OIJ IT 2767, and the other heading may be
OIJ 2767, So I need to compare the two headings and move the unmatched to the right of the headings.

Now I understand what you actually want. Check this. It might give you some starting point to work with.

First finding the odd ones, the second challenge shall be to bring them in same sequential order.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, this worked, but I no longer working on the project, but I learned something new.
