I have workbook1 column b that contains shipping numbers and I need to compare it to workbook2 column c which also has shipping numbers. Basically we are trying to ensure that the shipping numbers in workbook1 column b are contained in workbook2 column c and match exactly. If not, then we need to see what is missing. We generate workbook2 and our customer sends us workbook1. We'd like to find a way to automate this as much as possible as it will need to be done several times a week with changing data. Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
You can insert this formula on to a blank column of a book and suitably adjust column names and rows and file names. and drag it down to the last row
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(C2,'
[list files.xlsm]Sheet2'!$B$16:$B$28,0)),"missing",MATCH(C2,'
[list files.xlsm]Sheet2'!$B$16:$B$28,0))
