    @Anonymous,

     

    Can you explain more in detail what you're trying to compare it to? Like to a sharepoint list? SQL table? ect.

    You can just copy and past from excel straight to the source you need it to be in, or if there's an option, you can upload your excel file on to it.

     

    Thanks,

    Jvang

    @Anonymous My goal is create table header with names (employees). I have table in SQL and I want to compare excel and SQL.

    In case that employee exist in Excel but no in SQL, I want to edit value with name in Excel - Missing_Name or something like that.

    @Anonymous,

     

    The only think that comes to mind is creating a 2nd table in SQL with names as a header (Identical to your Excel sheet of employees)  and then have a PK(primary Key)  that wont have null values and create a trigger that would update the main table base on the PK when insert/update/delete data from the other table.

     

    Thanks,
