[libreoffice-users] [Calc} Compare contents of similar records on two sheets

Hello,

I have two spreadsheets - each on a separate Sheet of a workbook

I do not want to make the following comparisons manually - there are in 
excess of 2000 records in each Sheet.

I want to compare the contents of similar records contained in each Sheet

Each spreadsheet is of the format
Field 1. Master Number
Fields 2-30. Various data formats

If a record, as determined by the Master Number field, exists on both 
sheet 1 and sheet 2, I would like to be able to compare the similar 
fields, field by field.  If the field contents of one record are not 
identical to the corresponding field in the similar record, I would like 
to be able to change the background colour of the dissimilar fields to 
red else leave the background the default colour

If a record, as determined by its Master Number, is in one sheet and not 
in the other I would like to be able to change the background of that 
field to red also

Is there a way that this can be done?

Thanks,
Preston
