I’m trying to come up with an invite list for an event and there’s 2 sheets between the 2 people involved. I want to keep a running total of the people on the list between the 2 sheets. What’s the best way to go about this?

vlookup the entry on both sheets (T/F)?
sum/countif?

Are you trying to count people on the list or see if they are on both lists?

Can you not just combine the lists into one sheet then dedupe?

Maybe I'm confused about what you're doing

If you want one list you could copy one on the end of the other and then remove duplicates.

Names are crap to work with, one letter off and they don't match

Not to get off topic, but I once worked with this Korean girl and she did excel all by keyboard. Good lord she was fast. It was just amazing to see her work.

If you’re trying to get one list without duplicates, just combine them and use the remove duplicates tool as others have mentioned. Then sort alphabetically to find the remaining misspelled names that are still duplicated.

If you’re trying to find only names that are on BOTH lists, you could use either INDEX & MATCH or VLOOKUP.

Highlight the column and hit sum. Do the same on the next sheet. Then add the numbers together

So the list keeps changing?

Have the two people get together to remove duplicates before sending it to you. Jeesh

Google for a macro to use.

Or combine & de-dupe.

Set it up in google sheets in a shared file with rsvp boxes so everyone can check off for themselves and see who all is invited so you can avoid the awkward who all is coming conversation
