One task completed, so onto the next one

6 posts
Having just finished going through my collection on Numista and noticing that some had no photographs, I have now completed the task of adding photographs where I needed to.
Next problem then arose. In my own personal database, I now have 15,003 coins listed, but nowhere near that number actually listed on the Numista website.
Next task is therefore to find those missing coins. I have an excel spreadsheet where the countries are listed with numbers of both databases lie side by side, so the differences are clear to see, if in numbers only.
Therefore the task is to highlight those in my database that are on Numista, and add those that are not.
Only around 900 to find.
Anyone out there with a couple of months to spare?

Would be hard to create a script to check the differences?
Andy,
The differences were easy to find. I have a spreadsheet with all of my coins listed against each country with two columns. One for my database and the other for the number as listed on Numista.
This highlights the difference between them, so now I have to find those that are not listed on Numista.
I started at 'A' and will slowly work my way to 'Z'.
British Virgin Islands started today.
Good news is that some countries have the same total in both columns, so that sorts some out. I spend more time finding them than adding them to Numista.
Good job I am retired.

PM me your excel file and maybe I can speed up this process with a script.
Andy,
Thanks for the offer, but I think it is best for me, just to sort one country at a time. I have some British Virgin Islands coins to add today, then move on to the next country.
