Hello,

I'm struggeling a bit to figure out how to solve this issue.

I'm trying to compare two data-sets in two different workbooks, where Everything is linked up to an "ID" in column A in "ws" and Column F in "wb1".
I want to check if the value in ws column 4 is the same as the same type of value in wb1, which is in column 42.

Problem is when it finds several occurenses, the code breaks and prints all kinds of wierd outputs, and not just for the "i" in question but for the rest of the returned values.

I'd like for it to print one of each of the mis-matching occurances between the data sets.
Unfortunantly I'm not able to "filter" or remove any copies of the same ID as there might be some different information connected to that ID copy somewhere else in the data-set which is not relevant for this.

The different numbers are:
ID: Is a number, several digits long
The value im trying to match: prices connected to said ID's

Any Ideas?

VBA Code:
    Set rng = ws1.Columns("F:F")
  
    For i = 2 To LastRow
        finn = ws.Cells(i, 1).Value
        Set cell = rng.Find(What:=finn, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=False)
      
        If cell Is Nothing Then
            Else
                wb1.Activate
                cell.Select
                p1 = ws.Cells(i, 4).Value
                p2 = ws1.Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 42).Value
              
                If Not p1 = p2 Then
                        LastRowN = wso.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
                        wso.Range("A" & LastRowN).Value = finn
                        wso.Range("B" & LastRowN).Value = p1
                        wso.Range("C" & LastRowN).Value = p2
                    End If
            End If
    Next i

Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Heres an example of what happens when there are two identical ID's:

As you may see, it starts to return some date, even though there are no dates in the selected column. Something is obviously wrong.
In addition, it ruins the rest of the outputs - for whatever reason I cant explain

I found the issiue, there was a problem with the data-sets themselves. How can I delete a thread?
