How to compare data from 2 separate sheets to return a list of the differences
I have data contained in two sheets that two different team use, but there is a common identifying number column in both sheets. I wish to return a list the differences in these columns in a separate report or sheet

Pretty vague query there, but I imagine you could do something like:
- Copy in the full list of identifying numbers.
- helper column A: IF(VLOOKUP(column reference, reference sheet a, x)=column reference,"Y","N")
- helper column B: IF(VLOOKUP(column reference, reference sheet b, x)=column reference,"Y","N")
- helper column C IF(B<>C,"Y","N")
Filer column C by "Y"
