Worksheets Compare

[bzsurf03]

I have two similar reports on separate Excel sheets in different workbooks. I want to compare all cell values on one report to the other. Is there a VBA function that can easily handle this?

Hi,

No.

How similar?

Same number or rows & columns, but just different data values: pretty easy.

I am hoping in most cases exactly the same. Sometimes different values and maybe sometimes additional rows.

"...hoping in most cases ..."

dim ws1 as worksheet, ws2 as worksheet, r as range
set ws1 = Worksheets(1)
set ws2 = worksheets(2)
for each r in ws1.usedrange
  with r
    if .value <> ws2.cells(.row, .column).value then
       'houston, we have a problem -- we could shade the cells
       .interior.color = vbred
       ws2.cells(.row, .column).interior.color = vbred
    end if
  end with
next

"...maybe sometimes additional rows."

Oooops. This increases the difficulty several orders of magnitude.
