Hi Lovell,
Add a new sheet to the file you want to compare. Assuming that the data you want to compare are in Sheet1 and Sheet2, in cell A1 of the new sheet enter the formula below:

=Sheet1.A1=Sheet2.A1

Copy the formula in A1, select an area in the same sheet equal to the used area in the sheets you want to compare and paste. Search for 'False'.
tc

p.s.
If you want to see the differences, you could get a little fancier and use:
=IF(Sheet1.A1=Sheet2.A1;"";Sheet1.A1&"<>"&Sheet2.A1)
That way, matching cells result in empty cells, differences are displayed.

Hello all,

Is there a way in OO Calc to compare cells on one sheet to cells on another sheet? I'm only talking about a simple text comparison nothing more. I would like to verify some accounts in two different places and its ALOT of them so if I can automate it some how that would make things work a lot better for me.

Thanks in advance
