My Olympic medals by country year visualization in excel is received well by readers. I got few interesting emails on it.
Robert from Germany shares an interesting approach at doing this, by doing a heat map of the medal counts on an outline world map. This is very impressive and involves flood filling countries with a shade of gray based on the medals they got. Download and play with it
Jon from PTS Blog shares a simple technique to color the chart by continent to add more context to it. He does that by creating various named ranges and manually adjusting the color based on the range. Read more on how to this. Download and play with his version.
Thanks to both of you, I have learned new tricks in charting. Enjoy 🙂
One Response to “How to compare two Excel sheets using VLOOKUP? [FREE Template]”
Maybe I missed it, but this method doesn't include data from James that isn't contained in Sara's data.
I added a new sheet, and named the ranges for Sara and James.
Maybe something like:
B2: =SORT(UNIQUE(VSTACK(SaraCust, JamesCust)))
C2: =XLOOKUP(B2#,SaraCust,SaraPaid,"Missing")
D2: =XLOOKUP(B2#,JamesCust, JamesPaid,"Missing")
E2: =IF(ISERROR(C2#+D2#),"Missing",IF(C2#=D2#,"Yes","No"))
Then we can still do similar conditional formatting. But this will pull in data missing from Sara's sheet as well.
