    This just helped me a bunch to distinguish between the contents of two Spotify playlists, when I accidently deleted a third one which had my favorite songs!!!

    I've always wanted to know a reliably effective method of doing this in a spreadsheet. This is super-easy to do with Microsoft Access, but its a pain in the neck to import data into Access, do my thing, and export what I need later. The more I can do in Excel, the better. KICK BUTT tutorial, good sir!

    Great video, and a useful illustration of the power of the filter function. One thing to be wary of, this method only checks the id field. So it won't show records that have different data recorded against the same id in Mylist and in ColleaguesList

      Hi thanks for watching and commenting. It is really appreciated. Yes I agree, I would us a slightly different method if I was comparing the whole row. This method is for referencing a unique identifier like a part number or staff id etc. kind regards David 👍

    Very interesting. Paused the video and i've made this solution (the One of yours it's Better):
    1) created a unique list of items to check for example in cell S27: UNIQUE(FirstTable[column])
    2) in Cell T27: N(ISERROR(XMATCH(S27;SecondTable[column])))
    3) ctrl-1 to change format in this way:
    [Red]"missing";;"present"

    i think you could use the new "Insert Python" in the Formulas menu to do this via Pandas dataframes -Just a thought

      That sounds a good thought, I might look into that. Thanks and regards David 👍

    Hi! Thank you for the lesson.
    Can you kindly tell me is there is a way to equally distribute a value from a list to another.
    Ex: Suppose I have a list called A showing number of items and its weight.
    In the meantime I have another list called B showing the same items but more than once. What I wanted is If Apple found in list A and its value is 10 and and if the Apple found in list B the value 10 should applied in the appropriate cell in list B. But apple found twice in list B the value shoud be divided in to two and distributed to the appropriate cells in list B.
    List A
    Item Weight
    Apple 10 Kg
    Mango 6 kg
    Banana 8 kg
    Grapes 2 kg
    List B Weight
    Mango 2
    Apple 5
    Mango 2
    Banana 4
    Banana 4
    Apple 5
    Mango 2
    Grapes 2
    Whatever weight in list A should be automatically devide and place in List B.
    Is this possible in Excel?

    I'm having challenges with the [Id]
    How can I solve that
    This is interesting

    • @InITLearning

      Have you created a table with the heading id?

      @emmanueledet8638 Місяць тому

      ​​@@InITLearningyes sir.
      I did
      I have to rewatch again.
      I have to apply that again but I got error which is below 👇
      The formula you entered contains errors.
      If you do not wish to use a formula, insert a single quotation mark before your text.

      Sir, I have a question to ask.
      To successfully implement this
      Should both list be the same in name, narration, and id?
      I got the first step but got an error on the second part which is the other colleague list on second spreadsheet
