Hi,

I have 2 tables and i need to get the unmatches between the 2 tables
(fast way because its a long tables ~35000 rows)

thanks for help.

Use vlookup on the table like:

=if (isna(vlookup(A1,sheet2!a1:b35000,1,false),"no match","match")

if the column a contains the unique key, otherwise adjust as required or add
a column and make the key.

You really did leave many details how yours tables were constructed, and if
yours tables were on different worksheets. Anyways I took a stabe at it.
You'll probably have to modify the code for your tables, but I think it'll
you a ideal where you can start.  Enjoy...

Rick
==============================================
Option Explicit

Sub tableCk()

Dim lRow As Long                '' range total row count
Dim iCol As Integer             '' range total col count
Dim lRcnt As Long               '' row counter in for loop
Dim iCcnt As Integer            '' col counter in for loop
Dim table1 As Range, table2 As Range     ''  range var for table 1 & 2
Dim vTab1 As Variant, vTab2 As Variant   ''  variant var range array's

'' assuming both tables have equal rows & cols

Set table1 = Range("a2:e6")     '' set range for table 1
Set table2 = Range("a10:e14")   '' set range for table 2
lRow = table1.Rows.Count        '' need total row count
iCol = table1.Columns.Count     '' need total col count

'' copy table 1 & 2 into variant variables, which now become
'' variant arrays.
'' It faster to compare data in variant arrays(in memory) than it is
'' to compare Range to Range

vTab1 = table1      '' make variant array table1
vTab2 = table2      '' make variant array table2

'' now compare table
For lRcnt = 1 To lRow
   For iCcnt = 1 To iCol
       If vTab1(lRcnt, iCcnt) <> vTab2(lRcnt, iCcnt) Then
           MsgBox ("Table 2 is not equal to Table 2, row=" & CStr(lRcnt) &
",col=" & CStr(iCcnt))
           Exit Sub
       End If
   Next iCcnt
Next lRcnt

MsgBox ("Both Tables are equal")

End Sub

Yuvalbra,

I don't know how many columns your tables have, but this code compares two
single column lists. If your tables are multi-column, perhaps you could paste
the first column from each table into the workbook. The code contains
comments as to how you should lay your data out on the worksheet.

Hope this helps

Pete

Sub ListCompare()
   Dim CompSheet As Worksheet
   
   Dim List1 As Range 'range of cells containing your first list eg B3:B32
   Dim List1Header As Range 'label at the top of list 1 e.g. B2
   Dim List1Item As Range
   
   Dim List2 As Range 'range of cells containing your second list e.g.D3:D32
   Dim List2Header As Range 'label at the top of list 1 e.g. D2
   Dim List2Item As Range
       
   Dim List1OnlyHeader As Range 'label above where you want items ONLY in
first list to appear e.g. F2
   Dim List2OnlyHeader As Range 'label above where you want items ONLY in
second list to appear e.g. H2
   Dim ListBothHeader As Range 'label above where you want items in BOTH
lists to appear e.g. J2

   'In my example, List1 is B3:B32 and List2 is D3:D32, although the code
works out

cells containing them.
   
   'Make sure that there is a blank column to the left of List1Header, and
blank
   'columns between List1OnlyHeader and List2OnlyHeader, and between
List2OnlyHeader and ListBothHeader.
   
   'Finally, make sure there is a blank column to the right of
ListBothHeader.
   'This ensures that all the "CurrentRegion" referenece work correctly.
   'In my example, List1OnlyHeader is a label in F2, List2Header is a label
in H2 and
