Is it possible to compare two columns for a match and if there is a match compare two other columns?

For example, I want to compare two workbooks with similar data.
  • The FIRST thing I want to check is that there is a match for employee numbers.
  • If there isn't a match, I would want it to be copied and pasted to a new workbook.
  • The SECOND thing I want to check is that if the employee number matches, does the deduction amount?
  • If there isn't a match, I would want it copied and pasted to the same workbook as the first non-matching.

The key here is that I could have non-matches for the first criteria and second criteria on their own sheet so that they can be reconciled. Bonus points if the user can use a macro-assigned button to choose the two workbooks being compared.
