Fast compare values of Non-Contiguous Cells row in two different workbooks

My worksheet 1 contains around 2000 rows in column1 and same no of rows contained in worksheet 2 in column1 Is there any way i can compare value(string or integer) in particular row in work sheet 1 to check it is present in any one the row in work sheet 2 I have written one sample vba code for this but its taking considerable amount to time to get the result

Code:

---

Sub Compare2WorkSheets(ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet)Dim ws1row As Long, ws2row As Long, ws1col As Integer, ws2col As Integer
Dim maxrow As Long, maxcol As Integer, colval1 As String, colval2 As String, rowval1 As String, rowval2 As String
Dim report As Workbook, difference As Long
Dim exact As Long
Dim row As Long, col As Integer
With ws1.UsedRange
ws1row = .Rows.Count
ws1col = .Columns.Count
End With
With ws2.UsedRange
ws2row = .Rows.Count
ws2col = .Columns.Count
End With
difference = 0
exact = 0
For row = 1 To ws1row
    rowval1 = ws1.Cells(row, 1).Formula
    For row1 = 1 To ws1row
        rowval2 = ws2.Cells(row1, 1).Formula
    If rowval1 = rowval2 Then
        For col = 1 To ws1col




        colval1 = ""
        colval2 = ""
        colval1 = ws1.Cells(row, col).Formula
        colval2 = ws2.Cells(row, col).Formula
        If colval1 <> colval2 Then
            difference = difference + 1
        Else
            exact = exact + 1
        End If
        Next col
    End If
    Next row1
Next row




Debug.Print difference
Debug.Print exact
'Debug.Print ws1row
'Debug.Print ws1col





End Sub

If you want to compare the values you could use a VLookup formula to see if there is a match in the second column, if there is no match you would get an N/A error so you can wrap the formula in an IFERROR formula.

=IFERROR(VLookup(), "No Match")

Then filter for the No Match value.

With VBA you could use the formulas or do a loop to find the values:

For example:

Code:

---

Dim Cel AS Range

For i = 1 to 2000
Set Cel = Workbooks("workbookname").Sheets("sheetname").Range("target range to look at").Find(What:=Range("A" & i).Value, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole,MatchCase:=False)
If Cel IS Nothing Then
'This is a Non Match
End If
Next i

I responded to this post yesterday. Where has it gone?

Thanks for reply it solved my problem
