    How to find rows with identical/different cells

    Hi there have a problem and don't think Vlookup helps me much.... i attached a sample of what I have.

    I basically have to reports with the same account number (column A) in sheet 1 & 2 but the person responsible (column B) might be different. I'm not sure what formula I can use so I can be notified which loans have a different person in charge....

    In C1 and then copied down you could put:

    =IF(VLOOKUP(A1, Sheet2!$A:$B, 2, 0)=B1, "Same", "Different")

    If you'd like to note unique entries, too, then perhaps:

    =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1, Sheet2!$A:$A, 0)), IF(VLOOKUP(A1, Sheet2!$A:$B, 2, 0)=B1, "Same", "Different"), "Unique")
