I feel very happy to share this with you. Our blog reader and excel ninja Fernando sent me this in e-mail.
Based on your last post about Project Management, I did a tool to track project status at my company. I’ve included some things differently than your suggestion, and even added a Tweetboard (which turned out to be a great success – thanks a lot for the idea! 🙂 ) on another tab, to resume information about project status. I loaded it with your sample data, to protect our personal info (compliance stuff), and translated it to English (although I’m not pretty sure everything is well-translated – feel free to correct). …
All the best from Brazil! 🙂
See the implementation of the project management dashboard along with the tweetboard below:

I have locked the file as the project dashboard is on sale. If you want an unlocked version of the dashboard template (and 23 other excel templates for better project management) click here. You can be rolling out a similar dashboard in a couple hours using the project management bundle.

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.
