Hi All, hope some one can help me out here.
I am runnign Excel 2002 and working with a decently large set of data (about 3000 entries). I have 2 worksheets, each containing similar data (It is a list of classes and info on them). Each containes the same info save for one piece in each. Instead of having to refference both of these spreadsheets I would prefer to simply be able to merge that extra piece of info on to the other sheet. However, the hitch is that they both have a few (mabey a hundred or so) extra classes that the other does not. These classes are not important and would infact be beneficial if I could remove them. I have a code column set up that is formated identicly for both sheets, and I figgured I could use advanced filtering to remove those rows that are not in the other (I figure I would have to filter one sheet, copy and paste the new rows, then filter the other). However, I simply can not get the advanced filter to actualy filter anything. I tried a bit more of a hackish meathod (compare the 2 columns and print out a new column that either contains a logical true or false, then do a simple filter to remove those columns containing the logical flase), however the formula I wrote and copied through my sheet would ALWAYS return false. This is where I figgured out that there is something buging out on me. I verified that my formula was correct, and even copied out a single instance of it (that I knew was true) and pasted it to another cell. Doing THAT alowed me to sometimes evaluate it to TRUE, however generaly it will still evaluate to FALSE, I am guessing that this has something to do with the way Excel handels large data sets. If any one can shine some light on this I would GREATLY apreciate it. |
