Hello All,

I want to compare two data's. My A-D are main data, F-I are my ref data. I have to check is the reference data have the same value or not. If it dont have it then it should provide correct data.

If you see Stephen have the same Fruits in both Main and Ref data. Some thing should come up that its correct
Dave dont have the right fruit. some where it should show that its wrong and give the correct data. So that i can easly copy paste it. It has to tell only G6 and H6 are wrong and **, ** are correct

Hi ,

For 'Trevor' also it gave me 'No Problem', actually, my Main data and Ref is not matching for Trevor.
For Dave it gave me that G and H are wrong. Is there any way it paste the correct value in the next cell so that i can easly copy paste it.. I have around thousands of list. So if i get the difference. Still i have to do lot of manual work.

Thanks.

Yes you can keep the reference range in different sheet. The benefit of the data setup I used is you can filter the false one to check those names that are not correct.

OK then,
This will check the first column:
INDIRECT("$B"&MATCH($F2,A:A,0))=$G2

This will check the second:
INDIRECT("$C"&MATCH($F2,A:A,0))=$H2

And this will check the third:
INDIRECT("$D"&MATCH($F2,A:A,0))=$I2

Use them however you like...
