Determine changes of people between months

Copy spreadsheets of two months to compare into a directory.

Open spreadsheets and sort them the same. Such as Data => Sort:

1. Supervisor/ Chair
2. Last name
3. Firstname

Copy old data into new spreadsheet.

• Keep only columns A-E (Q: Same for Staff and for Grads?)
• Paste into column "I" (Q: Same for Staff and for Grads?)

Code for column "F". For Grads:

• =MATCH(E2,M:M,0)

For Staff:

• =MATCH(D2,L:L,0)

Code for column "H":

• =IF(F2=G2,"","!!")

Fill in column "G" sequentially, 2 through to the end.

Insert rows ("down") in either data set (the one on the right, or the one on the left) to get them to match up again.
