Comparing two sheets, when a server X is present in sheet A add info in collumnY in sheetB behind serverX in sheetA

Hi All,
I hope that someone is able to get me on the right track. I'm really not that good in EXcel spreadsheets and fomula's. But the sheets contains a few thousand records, and this would help me a lot. I'll explain.
The first column 'Clients' in sheet A contains a list of all our servers
The first column 'Clients' in sheet B contains a list of servers in our environment but not all.
The third column 'OS' in sheet B contains all Operating systems of the servers in sheet B.
I want to be able to compare both sheets if a servername is present in the 'Clients' column, when a servername is present in both 'Client' columns then we want to add the third column 'OS' from sheet B to sheet A.
Can someone explain to me, how to get this working?
Hope you can help me out.
regards,
Remco

Let's say that the list of servers on Sheet B is in A2:A50, and the OSes in C2:C50.
Enter the following formula in cell C2 on Sheet A:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2, 'Sheet B'!$A$2:$C$50, 3, FALSE), "")
Fill or copy down from C2 to the end of the data.

  • Compare two tables on different server without using Linked Servers

    I have an SSIS package that needs to compare a table to another table on another server.  Then only delete data from the first table if it exists in the second table.  
    I know this is possible with Linked Servers but we are doing away with them in my company.  Is there a way inside of SSIS to do this?
    Oh and I can't use a Data Flow since I don't know the table names or columns at run time (the whole package is dynamic) so I can't map the columns ahead of time.  
    So no MERGE JOIN unless it can be used outside of a Data Flow.  

    You 'll have to use the Data Flow Transformation, thing is, given the constraints, your only option seems to be in generating the package programmatically (using code).
    The type of a program would be a Windows Console. The program would expect a few parameters as the source and target tables along with any necessary connection parameters.
    Then use the merge join (being the easiest to code in) in an Execute SQL Task component.
    Examples of coding packages:

    PS: I can tell you, given your circumstances, at the very minimum the impact on the bottom line of your company is brittle apps accompanied with expensive maintenance which translates into reduced ROI from your tooling.

    The package is table driven and is a dynamic archival process.  The end user just fills in the framework table and the package archives data from within a certain time range.  The table can exist on any server, any database.  
    That part is done.  The part that still needs to be accomplished is to delete data out of the base table since it is archived.  I need a safe way of doing this and so thought to compare the archive table against the base table.  Because they
    can exist anywhere and can have any name I am not sure how to do this without Linked Servers.  That being said we will not have Linked Servers for this.  
    Is there another safe way to delete data out of the base table?

  • Can I compare two databases from within SQL Server Management Studio

    Hi everyone.  I haven't found anything online, so I wanted to ask here.  I have two SQL Server databases running on our server.  One is the production database, and another is my development database that I use when I'm working on the program. 
    I add tables and columns and stuff to my development database, and was wondering if anyone knew of an easy way to from within Management Studio or something to compare the two databases to make sure that they are the same and show me any differences. 
    I generally add tables or columns to both databases at the same time, but I worry that one time I might forget, so I would like to be able to run some sort of compare / check to make sure before releases...
    Thanks everyone for your help.  I greatly appreciate it.

    There is a command line utility that is with Microsoft SQL Management Studio called
    tablediff:

    An example:

  • Run two Database in single server

    Hi...
    I want to run two database into single server. For that I had created one another database.
    But now I am not able to connect with two database at the same time.
    When I am going to connect to another database i have to shutdown the first one.
    Is it possible to connect and work on two database at the same time?
    Thanks
    pratik

    You should have a good enough to have two or more instances running on the same machine.
    The performance of a single instnace will always be better compared to having two or more instances on the same machine.
    Is it possible to connect and work on two database at the same time?Yes
    Here is an example
    $ ps -ef |grep pmon
    ora101AS 548928 1 0 Aug 06 - 0:31 ora_pmon_orcl
    ora102DB 552974 1 0 Aug 06 - 0:36 ora_pmon_TEST
    ora102DB 1380412 1 0 00:58:49 - 0:04 ora_pmon_LIVE
    testuser 1613946 1691868 0 10:46:11 pts/2 0:00 grep pmon
    Single machine having multiple instances
    $ ps -ef |grep pmon
    ora102DB 4086 1 0 Aug 06 - 1:39 ora_pmon_LIVE10
    testuser 32848 31172 0 10:46:24 pts/0 0:00 grep pmon
    Single machine having a single instance
    The second machine performance is much better compared to the first machine that has mutiple instances.
    Normally CREATE DATABASE is used by advance users while DBCA is relatively easy to use.

  • How to compare two libraries

    I recently bought a 17-inch MBP to replace my old WindTunnel G4 as my primary machine. (The G4 will still be in service as a server.) I'm in the process of bringing my iTunes library over to the MBP, a process that has been made much easier by Home Sharing in iTunes 9. Thank you, Apple, for this feature!
    My question is, when I connect to the shared library, iTunes on the MBP shows 41 fewer tracks than iTunes on the G4 shows. With nearly 200GB of music (over 40,000 tracks) in my library, manually comparing the two libraries to determine which tracks are missing would be an exercise in boredom and futility. Is there any automated way, any software, that I can use to compare the contents of the two libraries so I can locate the missing tracks and figure out what's wrong with them? I'm not averse to using Terminal if that's going to be the most straightforward way to do it.

    I am in the same boat as you are Mark. I only have about 88G and 16,000 tracks of music (that does not include any video), and in trying to manually compare two libraries from directory listings by hand is not the way to do things. I am also thinking that creating some output listings for the directory is the solution, but the directory structure is not the same, and would require some level of automation for dumping the differences. I am a tad rusty at my unix scripting to say the least, but I guess I could pull out some of the old reference books. Even if a properly specified ls command could give an output format to pull into an excel file? and then be able to do the diff there with some small tweaking ? I've gotten myself into a bit of a mess with this (nothing that can not be resolved with some careful cleanup), but I don't want to have to rebuild another new library from my old master if I could do a diff between the two, so I can add the remaining 10G (estimated) that is missing in the new library.
    Hopefully by replying to your thread someone else will spot this and can give an assist.
    I am missing a lot more than 41 tracks, I am guessing a few hundred (200 - 300 plus?).
    One place to check on the old library is in the unknown folders? (unknown album or unknown artist?) and also to check under what is labeled as a compilations folder.
    I think what created part of my problem is that I suspect the new directory structure (part of the new iTunes version) placed on top of the old directory structure (prior iTunes versions - when the orig library was created back in 2003 and then moved to an external device) was something I did not clearly understand or investigate sufficiently prior to starting to move things around. I have not lost anything (i.e. the physical files are all still there in the old master, along with a backup), but certainly the new master is not in full synch with the old master.
    I would have preferred to be far less cognizant of some of these things, but as this exercise continues some of this gets unearthed.

  • To compare two different reports

    Hi!
    Iu2019ve just started in a new work and I have an important task to do. So, I need to know if there is
    some method to compare two reports. Let me explain:
    We receive reports from Oracle and from SQL Server: two different reports with the same information. I need to compare them in order to know if the information exactly is the same or not.
    Does someone know any tool to do that or do I have to revise each one by hand?

    May beu2026 Business Object u2013 Crystal Reports can explain us how is a report built and how we can find the u201Cdata sourcesu201D. If it can beu2026 I will be able to make a program to compare the u201Cdata fieldsu201D in two, three, four,u2026 reports.
    It will be very useful to compare if two reports have the same u201Cdata fieldsu201D or, two directories have the same number of reports and everyone in the first folder have the consequent in the second folder.
    Of course, when I talking about folders, Iu2019m want to say two folders who contains reports but each folder have reports linked to different DBMS (Oracle, SQL Server,u2026).

  • How to compare two tables in SSIS?

    I am creating an SSIS package that will compare two tables and then insert data in another table.
    Which tool shall I use for that? I tried to use "Conditional Split" but it looks like it only takes one table as input and not two.
    These are my tables:
    TABLE1
    ID
    Status
    TABLE2
    ID
    Status
    TABLE3
    ID
    STatus
    I want to compare STATUS field in both tables. If Status in TABLE1 is "Pending" and in TABLE2 is "Open" then insert this record in TABLE3.

    You can use MERGE command , Sorry cannot test it right now.
    MERGE INTO tbl3
    USING (SELECT tbl2.ID, tbl2.status,tbl1.status as st1  FROM tbl1 JOIN tbl2 ON tbl1.ID=tbl2.ID) AS t ON T.ID=tbl3.ID 
    AND t.status='OPEN' AND t.st1='pending'
    WHEN NOT MATCHED 
    INSERT (status) VALUES (t.status)

  • How can I compare two collections at the same time? (View two grid views)

    I have two collections containing some of the same images. (My Nikon D70 did not put an end-of-file on some images. I recovered them into a different collection.) Now I want to display both collections side-by-side in grid view. I will select those images in the "recovered" collection that correspond to the bad images in the "main" collection, add the ratings etc, and move just these to another collection.
    It is extremely frustrating to have to bounce back and forth between collections, remembering each image one by one and selecting it in the "recovered" collection. (The image names are not preserved in the "recovered" collection -- I have to go by what the image looks like.)
    LightRoom allows me to compare photos in the compare view. I want to compare collections in two grid views.

    CaptureTheLight,
    you have ran into a situation when you have to compare two sets of images and now you're wondering how come Lightroom doesn't have such "obviously necessary" functionality? But you have to admit it, this is not such a common situation in a photographer's workflow recovers broken files and tries to compare them against themselves. I think it's a pretty specific feature you need. Still, Lightroom has enough powerful tools for editing and sorting images.
    For example...
    You could just put them all - "main" and "recovered" - into a single collection or into the Quick Collection. Label the entire "recovered" collection with, say, red and sort by capture time. Now you'll have everything side by side, ordered chronologically. The "recovered" images will stay next to the "main" images since their capture time will be the same, and they will also stand out since they have the red label.
    Make the thumbnails bigger and set up the grid view so it tints the thumbnail cell are tinted with the label color. Now, you can go quickly through them visually checking labeled vs unlabeled.

  • Contacts and calendar items disappear when exchange server is off

    Hi All
    I've been having this problem for a few weeks now and it's most frustrating. My iphone is setup to sync over the air to our corporate exchange server. It seems that when the server is down for repair/patching ALL my contacts and calendar items disappear from my iphone. This doesn't seem to happen if the phone is out of signal?
    I know that I can sync directly with Outlook, however this would then mean that the phone is only updated when synced with my laptop at work. If I sync both over the air AND with Outlook, I get duplicates of everything in my calendar.
    I'm not restoring my iphone to factory defaults to get rid of the duplicates and go back to over the air sync only.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get calendar and contacts to work "offline" when the exchange server is down?
    Main PC is running Windows 7 and exchange is 2007. This problem is only recent, I think in the last month of two. Nothing has changed other than the last few firmware updates from Apple.

    hi, cheers for the info. That would make sense, however how come when I'm out of signal and not connected to wifi, the data doesn't also disappear as that too would render the server "unavailable".
    Is there a way to make the iphone keep a copy of the data much the same as "offline mode" in Outlook where you can still browse your email, calendar and contacts when the server is offline, and it picks up where it left off when the server is available again?
    I appreciate this may not be a "problem" as such, but is frustrating as all my contacts and calendar live in Outlook and I can't function without them

  • How can i compare two excel files with different no. of records.

    Hi
    I am on to a small project that involves us to compare two excel files. i am able to do it but am struck up at a point. When i compare 2 different .csv files with different no. of lines i am only able to compare upto a point till when the number of lines is same in both the files.
    Eg. if source file has 8 lines and target file has 12 lines. The difference is displayed only till 8 lines and the remaining 4 lines in source lines are not shown.
    Can you help me in displaying those extra 4 lines in source file. I am attaching my code snippet below..
    while (((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) && ((strLine1 = br1.readLine())) != null)

    A CSV file is not an Excel file.
    But apart from that your logic makes no sense.
    If the 2 files are of different sizes the files are different by definition, so further comparison isn't needed, you're done.
    If you want to compare individual records, you need to compare all records from one file with all records from the other, unless the order of records is important in which case your current system might work.
    That system however is overly complicated for comparing CSV files.
    As you assume a single record per line, and if one can assume those records to have identical layout (so no leading or trailing whitespace in or between columns in one file that's not in the other) comparing records is simply a matter of comparing the entire lines.

Maybe you are looking for
