Hello there,
sorry if this has been asked before - I don't know the lingo yet ; )
I would like to match 3 to 4 columns of data in a row in sheet 1 to the same data and amount of columns in Sheet 2 a
ie matching between Project ID & Activity Id & Activity Name
and find differences in one or two the columns ie: % completed and Activity Status
What I trying to find is when data has been updated (not when it remains the same) can I highlight the changed in the data in current week ?
I was thinking to make it easy to update each week I could insert new data into the same columns in Sheet 1 (last weeks data) and Sheet 2 (this weeks data) each week and keep the formula in sheet 3 ?
I have found when I concatenate I sometimes get a problem when a user has added extra spaces after a word or number or when the dash changes from a short dash to a long dash, problems like that are stopping me from matching in concatenation correctly and I have thousands of rows to check so want to make it easy and successful
I really appreciate your reading this and helping if you can - thank you Helen ; )
for example :
Sheet 1 (last weeks data)
Project ID (column 1 title)
<tbody>
</tbody><colgroup><col><col><col><col span="2"><col><col></colgroup>
Sheet 2 (this weeks data)
<tbody>
</tbody><colgroup><col><col><col><col span="2"><col><col></colgroup>
