how to find dissimilar data?

     I received two excel files, one is from my warehouse department and one is from my IT.

file 1 say: from Warehouse dept

EmployeeIDPartnoItemQtyIssue
12311-22-11-123Laptop1
12311-22-11-124Table1
23611-10-11-111LED2
23611-22-11-125Mouse1

file 2 say:from IT dept

EmployeeIDPartnoItemQtyIssue
12311-22-11-123Laptop1
12311-22-11-124Table1
23611-10-11-111LED2
23611-22-11-125Mouse1
23611-11-12-202Projector2
23610-21-12-111Connector4

Now as u can see IT say the employee ID '236' has so many item that issued to him while ware house sheet said this person has only LED and Mouse.

Now I want to show the table that show the item list which are missing in warehouse dept.

Or

you can suggest any other better representation either by highlighting the missing items or whatever to identify the difference between the two files.

sheet 1-sheet2

remember both are separate excel files.

aircode might be:

WH: LOAD EmployeeID & Partno AS ID FROM Warehouse_DataFile;

Missing:
LOAD EmployeeID & Partno AS ID, * FROM IT_DataFile WHERE NOT EXISTS (ID);

DROP TABLE WH;

You can join the 2 excel files (replace in the script the web load with the excel load)

T:

LOAD EmployeeID,

     Partno,

     Item,

     QtyIssue as QtyW

     //'WAREHOUSE' as Dept

FROM

[https://community.qlik.com/thread/312642]

(html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @1);

join (T)

LOAD EmployeeID,

     Partno,

     Item,

     QtyIssue as QtyIT

     //'IT' as Dept

FROM

[https://community.qlik.com/thread/312642]

(html, codepage is 1252, embedded labels, table is @2);

To identify the difference between the two files, you can use an expression in background color

if(sum(QtyIT) <> sum(QtyW), rgb(255,0,0))

It is not only quantity that missing there is also a row or you can say an item that is not exist in other list.

let me add some brief explanation also :

According to sheet from wharehouse employee 236 has only LED and mouse while IT dept say that this employe also have connector and projector.

I want only those item to display in separate table like projector and connector (i.e fine missing rows)
