Excel Compare

Hello,

I would like to compare several tables on Excel to find their similarities and differences. How can I do this?

Thank you in advance!


Please have a look at Excel courses near me for more hands-on practice.

RE: Excel Compare

Hi Julie,


Thank you for the forum question.


If you in two or more tables have names and you want to find out if you have the same names many times a Countif function can help you. It can count have many times you have a specific name in multiple tables.


Conditional formatting can highlight all duplicates in the multiple tables.

Do you want to know if all tables have the same number of rows and columns you can use the Count function.

If you could let me know exactly which information you need from your tables I will be able to give you more precis answer.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Checking if a calculation adheres to Order of Precedence

When writing formulas you must make sure that results will be calculated as you intended.

Excel adheres to the standard order of precedence for calculations. It calculates percentages, exponents, multiplication, and division in this order before calculating addition and subtraction.

For example, =7+5*3 results in an answer of 22, not 36.

To force a calculation to be completed before another calculations, place the section in parentheses: =(7+5)*3 will result in 36.

To check how excel is evaluating a formula, click on the cell and select the 'Tools' menu, select 'Formula Auditing' and click 'Evaluate Formula'

In the dialog box click on 'Evaluate' to watch as each part of the formula is successively calculated.
