Hey , this is a great video ,my task was majorly done ,but xlwings does not run when we use the highlight code for very large datasets. Moreover if you could provide a video where we can compare files having different number of columns it would be very helpful.

@CodingIsFun

Thank you for watching the video & your suggestion.

if there is only column difference can you highlight with different color and if the entire row is not present in any of the file can you highlight with different color? This will give you an idea if there is only one column that is different or the entire row is not present in any of the file

@CodingIsFun

Highlighting the entire row that was not in the initial file has been covered in the video (09:28 min). You could take that example as a starting point to check further (column by column) if the change is only in one column to use a different colour. I hope you understand that I am missing the time to code out an example for you. Happy Coding!

Hi, I have a question… in the data with different shapes sections, what if the difference in the shape of the excel file was that additional columns were added or both columns and rows changed, how would you handle that?

@CodingIsFun

Жыл бұрын

It's a good question but difficult to answer because it depends on many factors. Before comparing the data, you would probably need to check the shape of the data range and/or the column header (names). That said, I do not have the time to code an example.

I wonder if the logic work if say the datasets have no unique identifiers ?

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. What exactly do you mean by unique identifiers? In the xlwnigs example, the header names do not matter. The script will compare cell to cell, e.g. A1 (WB1) to A1 (WB2). When using pandas compare, you want to use the same column headers.
