Hello all,

I am looking for a VBA code to reconcile two data sets in Sheet1 and Sheet2 (See attached report). Looking for qty differences between both sheets and identifying if a column A, B or C and have any discrepancies. Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance!
 
Something like this?

VBA Code:
Sub Compare_Difference()

Dim eRow1&, eRow2&
Dim cell1 As Range, cell2 As Range
Dim rngSht1 As Range, rngSht2 As Range
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set ws1 = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Set ws2 = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(2)

' Get last row for each data on Sheet1 and Sheet2
eRow1 = ws1.Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row
eRow2 = ws2.Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row

' Define Range for each sheet
Set rngSht1 = ws1.Range("A2", "A" & eRow1)
Set rngSht2 = ws2.Range("A2", "A" & eRow2)

ws1.Range("D1") = "Diff (Sht2 - Sht1)"
For Each cell1 In rngSht1
    For Each cell2 In rngSht2
        If cell2 = cell1 And cell2.Offset(0, 1) = cell1.Offset(0, 1) Then
            Select Case True
                Case ws2.Range("C" & cell2.Row) = ws1.Range("C" & cell1.Row)
                    ws2.Range("A" & cell2.Row, "C" & cell2.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
                Case Else
                    ws2.Range("A" & cell2.Row, "B" & cell2.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
                    ws1.Range("D" & cell1.Row) = ws2.Range("C" & cell2.Row) - ws1.Range("C" & cell1.Row)
            End Select
        End If
    Next
Next

ws2.Range("D1") = "Diff (Sht1 - Sht2)"
For Each cell2 In rngSht2
    For Each cell1 In rngSht1
        If cell1 = cell2 And cell1.Offset(0, 1) = cell2.Offset(0, 1) Then
            Select Case True
                Case ws1.Range("C" & cell1.Row) = ws2.Range("C" & cell2.Row)
                    ws1.Range("A" & cell1.Row, "C" & cell1.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 42
                Case Else
                    ws1.Range("A" & cell1.Row, "B" & cell1.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 42
                    ws2.Range("D" & cell2.Row) = ws1.Range("C" & cell1.Row) - ws2.Range("C" & cell2.Row)
            End Select
        End If
    Next
Next
   
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
It works. Thank you so much for your help!

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
I wrote the difference in Sheet1 column D and highlight Yellow matching columns (A,B,C or just A,B if C is different)

VBA Code:
Sub Compare_Difference()

Dim eRow1&, eRow2&
Dim cell1 As Range, cell2 As Range
Dim rngSht1 As Range, rngSht2 As Range
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set ws1 = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Set ws2 = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(2)

' Get last row for each data on Sheet1 and Sheet2
eRow1 = ws1.Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row
eRow2 = ws2.Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row

' Define Range for each sheet
Set rngSht1 = ws1.Range("A2", "A" & eRow1)
Set rngSht2 = ws2.Range("A2", "A" & eRow2)

For Each cell1 In rngSht1
    For Each cell2 In rngSht2
        If cell2 = cell1 And cell2.Offset(0, 1) = cell1.Offset(0, 1) Then
            Select Case True
                Case ws2.Range("C" & cell2.Row) = ws1.Range("C" & cell1.Row)
                    ws2.Range("A" & cell2.Row, "C" & cell2.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
                Case Else
                    ws2.Range("A" & cell2.Row, "B" & cell2.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
                    ws1.Range("D" & cell1.Row) = ws2.Range("C" & cell2.Row) - ws1.Range("C" & cell1.Row)
            End Select
        End If
    Next
Next
   
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
Hello Zot, Can you please add a statement to sort both column A in sheet 1 and 2 from smallest to largest while doing the comparison ?

No idea, but even mine 2016 from time to time not responding. I just wait for a while and then either became comlete or continuing . My data even mush shorter than that. Something that hardly happened in my old Excel 2003 ?. Even the same program running on my new 2016 64bit took more than twice the time than running on 2003 :unsure:

I am doing it manually right now and put the différence on a pivot table but it would’ve been nice if vba works without freezing my computer or excel.

I'm working on using either array or dictionary in which comparison is done in memory instead of reading in sheet. This should be faster.

Try this

VBA Code:
