Hello,
I am working on a macro to compare two sets of data and return results based on what is found. I'm relatively savy with <ACRONYM title="visual basic for applications">VBA</ACRONYM> however am having a hard time with this comparison. I'm using 2007, however I have to write the code to be 2003 compatible.

I've been able to set it up to make comparisons between the sheets using concatenation and Vlookups and it works, however my data will be growing to thousands of lines and there are multiple levels of comparison taking place which means that it takes a very long time to complete.

Here's an idea of what it does...doing my best to make an example because the actual file contains confidential customer information.

Sheet 1
The combination Column I added for Concatenating cells together to use as comparison

The Macro currentlysets up concatenates the Part #: Account #: Quantity on SHEET1
It does the same in the "COMBINED" column on SHEET2 and then using a VLOOKUP in the "Sheet 1" column it looks to see if there are any matches on SHEET1. If there are, it marks Correct in the result column

It then changes the concatenation on SHEET2 to inclue the Reman Part#: Account#: Quantity. Then vlookup compares that with SHEET1, if there are any matches it shows "REMAN" in the result column

Each step it changes something about the concatenation to create a new argument, check for a match, and then display the result in the Result column.

Here are some of the arguments I have it go through.

Obviously all these formula's are killing my Macro when the data runs into thousands of lines. Is there a way I can write code to do the comparisons without all the formula's?

Hopefully there's enough info here to give you some ideas.

Thank's in advance for your help.
