Assuming you have two lists in Excel that you want to keep synchronized, there are a few different ways you can go about doing this. One option is to use a simple VBA macro to compare the lists and make any necessary updates. Another option is to use Excel's built-in "Consolidate" feature. Let's take a look at both of these methods in more detail.
Using a VBA macro to synchronize two lists is relatively simple. The first thing you need to do is add a reference to the "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" library. This can be done by going to the Tools menu, selecting References, and then checking the box next to "Microsoft Scripting Runtime".
Once you've done this, you can insert the following code into a new module:
Sub SyncLists()
Dim dict As New Scripting.Dictionary
Dim key As Variant
Dim i As Long
'Add items from first list to dictionary
For i = 2 To Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
key = Range("A" & i).Value
If Not dict.Exists(key) Then dict.Add key, 1
Next i
'Delete items from second list that aren't in dictionary
For i = 2 To Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
key = Range("B" & i).Value
If Not dict.Exists(key) Then Range("B" & i).EntireRow.Delete
Next i
'Add items from second list to dictionary
For i = 2 To Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
key = Range("B" & i).Value
If Not dict.Exists(key) Then dict.Add key, 1
Next i
'Delete items from first list that aren't in dictionary
For i = 2 To Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
key = Range("A" & i).Value If Not dict.Exists(key) Then Range("A" & i).EntireRow.Delete Next i End Sub
