Formula to find matching IP values in two sheets Closed

Question

I really need help figuring out this issue that I am not too sure that actually has a solution.

I have two separate spreadsheets (lets call them "sheet1" and "sheet2") both of which in column "A" have IP addresses listed. 
What I need to do is if "sheet1" has a matching IP in "sheet2"  i want to have a copy of the entire matching row from "sheet1" be put into a new sheet (sheet3).

Essentially If 'A' from sheet1 = 'A' from sheet2 then copy the matching row of information into sheet3 (sheet3 will become its own spreadsheet consisting of all the matches in IP from the other two sheets)

Thanks in advance for any and all help

Hello c4rn3v1l,

Try the following code, placed in a standard module and assigned to a button:-

Sub CompareSheets()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Dim cell As Range
Dim sValue As Range

For Each cell In Sheet1.Range("A2", Sheet1.Range("A" & Sheet1.Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
     Set sValue = Sheet2.Columns("A:A").Find(cell.Value)
        If sValue Is Nothing Then GoTo NextCell
           If cell.Value = sValue.Value Then
               Sheet1.Range(Cells(cell.Row, "A"), Cells(cell.Row, "F")).Copy Sheet3.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(3)(2)
               End If
NextCell:
Next cell
Sheet3.Select

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

The code should find matching values in Column A of both sheets 1 and 2 and then transfer the relevant row of data from sheet1 to sheet 3.

Run the code from Sheet 1.

I hope that this helps.

Cheerio,
vcoolio.

Hello C4rn3v1l, To check for differences in two sheets, we may have to change tack a little and reference one sheet from the other and vice versa. So try the following code ( untested ):- Sub CompareSheets2() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim lr As Long Dim lCol As Long Dim i As Integer lr = Sheet1.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row lCol = Sheet1.Cells(2, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column Sheet1.Select For i = 2 To lr If Sheet2.Cells(i, 1).Value <> Sheet1.Cells(i, 1).Value Then Sheet1.Range(Cells(i, 1), Cells(i, lCol)).Copy Sheet3.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(3)(2) End If Next Sheet2.Select For i = 2 To lr If Sheet1.Cells(i, 1).Value <> Sheet2.Cells(i, 1).Value Then Sheet2.Range(Cells(i, 1), Cells(i, lCol)).Copy Sheet3.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(3)(2) End If Next Sheet3.Select Application.CutCopyMode = False Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub Again, the code assumes that you are looking for differences in Column A only. If you need to check for differences over entire rows, then let me know. I hope that this helps. Cheerio, vcoolio.
