This was stellar! Clear. Detailed. To the point. Thank you very much for making and sharing this video.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making a potentially complicated process clear and easy to follow. I’ll be watching again.

Oh my goodness! You are lifesavers! Wonderful narrator and brilliant process. Thank you so much.

Been trying to figure this out for YEARS. It just clicked! Thank you for making this very clear.

Pro tip! When you have a spreadsheet with a lot of columns: just make sure that the column with the lookup value is simply left of the column you want to search in. The Vlookup function can only search to the right!

Brilliant!! I'm an Accountant, tracing missing invoices from Revenue Authority was my biggest problem.

Glad you think so! Thanks for leaving as comment ;-)

in addition you can use the function 'ifna(function, return value when na)' - or 'iferror(function, return value when error)' which will also cover div/0 etc. also useful if you rather want to leave the cell empty

I had similar experience last year wherein I needed to compare a list of 400+ tickets our team has against a list from our Finance team. I did the same process (VLOOKUP, IFERROR, and Conditional Formatting) which was great but I noticed that some items can be in file A but not in file B, or vice versa. That vice versa thing was a headache for me. Looking back at the situation, I think I may just did an overthinking and that I could have just done the same process in both directions.

Thank you

Hello, thank you for useful video, maybe you can add how I can compare 2 lists and add missing data? For example, if I have "Taylor Gross+ in the Column 1 but don't have it in column 2, I want to add "Taylor Gross" to column 2.

What do you see as the benefits of using Lookup vs Conditional formatting the cell ranges based on based on ? For example, using something like "=A1Sheet2!A1" as the conditional formatting formula.

Also, very nice is the fact you can move the columns around from the 1st or 2nd dataset in either left or right direction without breaking the formula!

Sorry. It works perfect on worksheet but "wrong formula" in conditional formatting. I tested separately in two separate columns but got the same result. I am using Excel 365. May I know why? Many Thanks.

What if we are searching for approximate values instead of exact?

Hello I want the two tables side by side on one sheet, sort both table for the employee id to be smaller to largest and use vlookup function to find the employee id that exists in one table but does not in the other table and vice Versa. What I am struggling with is this: Let’s say there are 10 employee ids in table1 and 9 in table2. And employee id no. 4 is missing in table2 I want to add a row in table 2 to indicate that the entry is missing and move employee ids from 5-10 a row below to match with the entries in table1 How do I do this?

How do we get the data to practice with it.

good explanation, but image is very blurry.

Can someone share me a link through which I can learn stock count or like I have a huge sayad which is present stock available and physically count stock with quantity and how to workout to find the variance. Thank you in advance for your help

Hi. I a number that I need to find in a column. which is clubbed amount of 2 numbers or more in another table. How I can find that numbers? Like I want to find what numbers are adding up to make $3000. is there any way?

My Motion looks nothing like that....How do I color code?

QUESTION: I have 2 lists that were generated by 2 different databases. one formulates names DOE, JANE SARAH...the other formulates each name in a different column and every name written as Doe Jane Sarah instead of upper case. So I CONCAteNTATED the names from the list that had the name separated in columns, then I did =UPPER() to make the names all upper case. I then copied and pasted as a "paste special" so that it copies as the final value instead of the formula. so the names look exactly the same. Then i tried conditional formatting and couldn't find any matches, even though I know there were at least 10 just visually. then, to add to the mystery, I hand typed one name in the same format as the DOE, JANE SARAH... and this is the only name that matches with conditional formatting or VLOOKUP. I've diddled around in a few cells just to see if there are extra spaces or something and it doesn't seem like it. I copied it into googlesheets and tried conditional formatting and got the same weirdness. What am I doing wrong? why are these names that visually look 100% identical not finding their matches? help!

nice. put practiced file in the description video ...

Thank you baby jesus for this help

i have a problem.. all is good when i did the formula on first cell. but when i drag to have the formula in subsequent rows.... it just copies my answer on first row.. to all subsequent rows..

What if you want to compare more than 1 Collum

Please share excel practice file

I have watched, let's just say, "my fair share" Excel VLOOKUP videos, but they did not click click with me. This video clicked. It all made so much more sense than the other "experts" out there. The first time through I was like Ohhhh that's how I need to view the Lookup Value. You gave criteria for it and you made it MAKE SENSE. So I was pretty stoked when my VLOOKUP actually did what I wanted it to do. Then I got my data cleaned up with your other tips and tricks. Lastly, I do appreciate the context you provided for your examples. If there was an award for "Best VLOOKUP Video on the Interweb" You should certainly win that award, and I feel so strongly about that, I would likely throat-punch anyone who disagreed with that sentiment. :-) JK. Probably. Also a very pleasant voice. Not an "I'm a super brain and you're a moron voice, just a pleasant, confident, knowledgeable voice. Thank you for saving me from VLOOKUP hell. You are Awesome Sauce, no doubt about it.

I would say this task is not complete. What about the data on Employee list 2 that is not on Employee List 1?

I tried this on two datasets I am trying to compare and every result is #N/A. I know there are values that match between both. I verified all cells are formatted as text. Not sure what else I can do to resolve the error. Stumped.
